Rhapsody APIs and Rhapsody Sockets available today on all Power Macs; Unique toolsuite for building "Rhapsody-Ready" applications.SANTA BARBARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 12, 1997--Tenon Intersystems is shipping a new version of CodeBuilder, a powerful tool for porting existing UNIX UNIX Operating system for digital computers, developed by Ken Thompson of Bell Laboratories in 1969. It was initially designed for a single user (the name was a pun on the earlier operating system Multics). applications or developing new, portable Rhapsody applications on Power Macs and Power Mac clones. CodeBuilder 1.0.1 contains a complete UNIX software development environment with a source-level debugger and C, C++, Objective-C, Ada95, Java and Fortran77 compilers all generating native PPC See Pocket PC, PowerPC and pay-per-click. PPC - PowerPC code. Because CodeBuilder creates binary PowerPC Executable Format (PEF PEF peak expiratory flow. ) files that can integrate directly with other Macintosh development tools, software developers can combine Macintosh debuggers and compilers with the CodeBuilder tool suite to get the best of to gain an advantage over, whether fairly or unfairly. - Milton. See also: Best both the Macintosh and UNIX worlds. MachTen CodeBuilder extends MacOS with a family of dynamically-linked, shared libraries that, like a Java virtual machine A Java interpreter. The Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is software that converts the Java intermediate language (bytecode) into machine language and executes it. The original JVM came from the JavaSoft division of Sun. , create a UNIX virtual machine-based execution environment with pre-emptive multi-tasking. Tenon's MachTen UNIX is based on the same Carnegie Mellon Mach and BSD UNIX foundation as NeXT OS, making CodeBuilder a good platform for porting and building next-generation MacOS applications. Because CodeBuilder's execution environment is identical to the NeXT OS environment, CodeBuilder supports Rhapsody OS APIs and Rhapsody TCP (1) (Transmission Control Protocol) The reliable transport protocol within the TCP/IP protocol suite. TCP ensures that all data arrive accurately and 100% intact at the other end. sockets. This means that applications that run with CodeBuilder will also run with Rhapsody, Apple's next-generation operating system. CodeBuilder includes a new native fast file system which removes the MacOS file system name length limitations and sizing restrictions. Depending upon the application, Tenon's new file system can result in a two- to ten-fold performance improvement. This performance advantage, coupled with the latest high-performance Power Macs, creates a new standard in desktop computing. CodeBuilder includes AfterStep, a NeXT-style X desktop and GNU gnu (n  ) or wildebeest (wĭl`dəbēst'), large African antelope, genus Connochaetes. Objective-C. Objective-C, an object-oriented extension to the C language, is the NEXTSTEP development language. The GNUStep base class libraries are included with CodeBuilder as a source code compilation example. GNUStep is a widely-available implementation of OPENSTEP, the NeXT distributed application run time environment. A future release of CodeBuilder will include the complete GNUStep environment. CodeBuilder's Kaffe (a development & execution environment for Java bytecode), scripting tools (such as Perl, MacPerl, tck/tk and expect) and popular Macintosh and UNIX text editors (such as BBEdit Lite, Alpha, and emacs) make CodeBuilder an ideal internet programming and Web developer tool. The software comes on CD with BSD UNIX source code, on-line documentation in both HTML HTML in full HyperText Markup Language Markup language derived from SGML that is used to prepare hypertext documents. Relatively easy for nonprogrammers to master, HTML is the language used for documents on the World Wide Web. and Adobe Acrobat PDF (Portable Document Format) The de facto standard for document publishing from Adobe. On the Web, there are countless brochures, data sheets, white papers and technical manuals in the PDF format. formats. The package is available for $149, with a government and educational price of $99. Tenon has been shipping award-winning Mach/BSD UNIX software on MacOS since 1991. Now that Apple has embraced the same technology for their next-generation operating system, Tenon is using their unique "UNIX virtual machine" as the basis of a set of "Rhapsody-Ready" applications.
