Green Hills C++ provides object oriented programming features such as data abstraction, strong type checking, and overloading of function names and operators. New C++ features include classes with scope, and overloading new and arrow operators. Green Hills C++ also includes compiler optimizing techniques such as inlining, loop unrolling and register caching.

Green Hills C++ compiler is available from Oasys on the Sun-3. Oasys claims that the compiler will be ported to other UNIX workstation and minicomputers soon.

Oasys supports Designer C++, the C++ translator developed by Glockenspiel, Ltd. Oasys will provide current customers with the ability to upgrade to the Green Hills C++ compiler.

To maximize performance and minimize memory overhead, the windowing functions are written in assembly language. The smallest possible program size using the S.M.P. functions is approximately 7K. The menu system, on the other hand, is written in C, providing flexibility and allowing the programmer to customize the function.

Other features include: keyboard filtering for data entry systems, OS and compiler independence, full video support, background processing, reconfigurable memory allocation, and a 300-page ring bound manual. This product also includes an event driven mouse support system, which makes S.M.P. comparable to a text-based Microsoft Windows programming interface. Full technical support is available including a new bulletin board for professional programmers: The LAB (814) 234-1881.

The introductory price for S.M.P. v1.5B is $250, (with source code, $350). Screen Manager Professional supports Microsoft C, Borland's Turbo C, Watcom C, Lattice C, and Zortech C++.

HIT/Ansi is a memory-resident program for MS-DOS compatible computers that emulate the Xenix color console. The program may be called up while running any MS-DOS application with a hot key so that the computer functions as a terminal to a host Xenix machine. When the hot key is pressed again, the computer returns to MS-DOS and to whatever program was running.

Using less than 48K of RAM, HIT/Ansi supports color (CGA, EGA, and VGA) or monochrome systems, 12 function keys and local printers in the foreground or background through the parallel port.

A descriptive brochure and demonstration diskette for the product are available upon request.

Watcom C v7.0/386 ports MS-DOS applications to 32-bit native mode, enabling full 386 performance without 640K limitations.

Watcom C v7.0/386 generates code for 32-bit protect mode and can access large data areas without source modification or special compiler options. Watcom C v7.0 possesses 386-specific instructions, sophisticated addressing modes and 32-bit linear addresses. Porting to the 386 architecture involves recompiling existing programs and linking with the 386 library to enable addressing of up to 4 gigabytes of memory.

Applications compiled with Watcom C v7.0/386 operate with MS-DOS extenders which enable use of 80386 protect mode. Both the 80386 software tools from Phar Lap Software and OS/386 from A.I. Architects support use of Watcom C v7.0/386 32-bit protect-mode with MS-DOS.

Watcom C v7.0/386 includes the compiler run-time library, a "compile and link" utility, and Touch utilities, an object file disassembler, a patch utility, and the Watcom C Preprocessor.

The list price for Watcom C v7.0 /386 is $895. For more information, contact Watcom at 415 Phillip Street, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, N2L 3x2 (519) 886-3700, FAX (519) 747-4971, or call the Watcom C order and inquiry line toll free: (800) 265-4555.

The High C compiler features over a dozen different global optimizations, including global allocation of values to registers, removal of invariant expressions from loops, live/dead analysis, dead code elimination, and constant and copy propagation.

MetaWare's High C compiler also features a code generator that makes use of 386/387 instruction sets including support of in-line transcendentals and floating-point long doubles (80 bits). The code generator also features in-line intrinsic function; in certain cases, the compiler replaces a call to the C library with the actual in-line instructions, resulting in code that is smaller and performs fewer operations.

The High C compiler provides ANSI compatibility, cross-language calling, acccurate and helpful diagnostics, and maximum configurability. Developers can select from a wide variety of compiler features through the use of toggles and programs.

MetaWare supports the complete Intel 80x86 microprocessor family including the 8086, 80186, 80286, 80386, and 80486, and the Intel i860; Advanced Micro Devices' Am29K; Sun Microsystem's Sun386i, Sun-3, and Sun-4 workstations; Motorola's 680x0 family of processors; IBM's PS/2, RT, and 370; and DEC's VAX.
