Features Benefits

Enhanced compliance with A/UX complies with all relevant additional UNIX standards, including: UNIX standards (including AT&T —IEEE POSIX 1003.1 FUS SVID, IEEE POSIX 1003.1, and FIPS —Berkeley File System #151), letting you port existing UNIX —NFS (Network File System) Version applications to A/UX with minimal 3.2 enhancements effort. —Shared libraries —X Window System support ...... Built-in Macintosh networking Allows Macintosh applications to capabilities, including: share printers and use AppleShare —AppleTalk® printing support files over an AppleTalk network —AppleShare file access system, using on-board LocalTalk™ or EtherTalk® (sharing the same Eth- ernet board with TCP/IP protocols). AppleTalk for A/UX is now included in A/UX 2.0...... Additional hardware and software support: —Macintosh IIfx A/UX 2.0 runs on all Macintosh II systems as well as the Macintosh SE/ 30. —Serial printing Lets you print documents on a serially connected LaserWriter® or ImageWriter® printer. —SuperDrive™ Allows users to store data on and retrieve data from 400K, 800K, or 1.44-megabyte floppy disks. —Slot, Serial, and Sound Managers Allows use of Macintosh applica- tions that access the Macintosh Toolbox Slot, Serial, and Sound Manager software. —Sound Supports applications that take advantage of Macintosh sound capabilities. —MacTCP® Allows use of Macintosh applica- tions that access MacTCP for TCP/IP connectivity. —Macintosh Communications Lets applications “talk” to the Toolbox Toolbox without requiring the application to designate a communi- cations protocol...... International support The A/UX operating system accepts 8-bit characters and alterna- tive character sets, so Macintosh and A/UX developers can create A/UX applications in many languages. Danish, Dutch, Finnish, Flemish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, and Swedish are supported...... Macintosh debugger Allows developers to easily debug their Macintosh applications. Product Details
