Application Development Toolkit
AIX PS/2 Application Development Toolkit provides
common tools and libraries for application development. These tools
are used in conjunction with the AIX PS/2 programming languages (VS FORTRAN,
VS Pascal, and C).
The Application Development Toolkit package provides these tools and
libraries to AIX PS/2
Version control for programs (sccs)
A symbolic debugging utility (dbx)
The make utility, which assists in compiling and linking
programs
The assembler (as) utility
A symbolic disassembler
A shared object library utility
Other common UNIX development tools
Interface libraries such as libc
Note: The linker (ld), archiver
(ar), and several editors are included in the AIX PS/2 base offering.
Version control is accomplished using the Source Code
Control System (SCCS), which is a collection of programs that manage changes
to source and text files. SCCS provides facilities for storing, updating,
and retrieving any version of a controlled file; controls updating privileges
to a file; and records who made each change, when it was made, and why
it was made.
SCCS assists software developers during the development, testing,
and support of programs. It includes the following features:
Stores the original file and changes made to it so that
common code or text is stored only once
Helps protect against unauthorized changes
Automatically inserts identifying information into source
and object code modules
Restores files to a previous stage of development or
maintenance
Symbolic debugger, dbx, that may be used with object programs
compiled by the AIX PS/2 VS FORTRAN, VS Pascal, and C Language compilers.
DBX debugger has the following functions:
Breakpoints on subroutines, lines, variables, and addresses
Trace support
Argument passing and standard I/O redirection
Source file manipulation with user's choice of editor
A customized environment with alias facilities
The Application Development Toolkit assembler provides:
Compatibility with the UNIX System V assembly language
for the Intel 80386
Macro assembly, repeat block, and conditional assembly
directives
High-speed assembly
The Application Development Toolkit also provides a symbolic disassembler
with the following features:
Disassembles compiled VS FORTRAN, VS Pascal, and C Language
programs
into UNIX-style assembler mnemonics
Annotation with source line information
Disassembled code can be reassembled
Shared-library support in AIX PS/2, in conjunction with
the Application Development Toolkit shlib2 command, allows application
developers to place common routines in a shared object library. Object
modules from this library are referenced, but not included, when a program's
load module is link-edited. The object modules are only loaded when
the program is executed.
This facility can be used to reduce the size of the load modules
in an application or to ensure that the most current version of a routine
is used by all programs.
See "AIX PS/2 Commands" in topic 12.0 for a list of commands included
in the Application Development Toolkit package.

2 DOS_Merge
With the installation of DOS Merge, AIX PS/2 supports
the execution of IBM Personal Computer DOS Version 3.3 and DOS applications
concurrently with AIX PS/2. DOS Merge provides multiple users with
access to DOS, while maintaining the powerful features and applications
of AIX:
Password security and file protection are extended to
DOS users.
Record-level access to the same files is provided to
both operating systems.
DOS programs can be invoked from AIX, and AIX programs
can be invoked from DOS.
Pipes support interprocess communication between AIX
and DOS programs.
DOS Merge facilities include:
Virtual 8086 mode IBM PC DOS Version 5.00
for the execution of DOS programs
Ability to execute multiple DOS sessions concurrently
with one or more AIX sessions
Ability to access DOS files (on fixed disk or diskette)
from an AIX
PS/2 shell, by invoking DOS commands, applications,
and batch files
Ability to access the AIX PS/2 file system by using DOS
commands,
applications, and batch files, or by using AIX commands
or shell procedures
Ability to convert ASCII files between DOS and AIX PS/2
formats
Ability to transfer data between DOS and AIX PS/2 programs
via pipes
Support for the execution of graphics-based DOS applications
under AIX PS/2 X-Windows
DOS files under control of the AIX PS/2 Operating System are maintained
transparently as AIX PS/2 files. Native DOS files that are on diskettes
or in physical or virtual DOS partitions may be accessed only from AIX
PS/2 using DOS commands.
Note: Running DOS applications under DOS Merge requires the prior
installation of IBM DOS 5.00.
See "AIX PS/2 Commands" in topic 12.0 for a list of the commands included
in the DOS Merge package.

INed (1 floppy) Full screen, ASCII
based editor.
Developed by INTERACTIVE Systems Corporation, the INmail/INed/INnet/INftp
program allows the creation and queued transfer of files and electronic
messages. It allows users to send, receive, update, print, delete,
restore, search, move, and copy messages. Other features include
a reminder facility, auto-forwarding, and execution of AIX PS/2 commands
and applications from within the message system.
Asynchronous communications facilities are used to send
and receive electronic mail between:
Two or more users on the same PS/2 system
Two or more PS/2s with the INmail program installed
A PS/2 system with INmail installed and another
system (ex. RT) with INmail installed.
See "AIX PS/2 Commands" in topic 12.0 for a list of the commands included
in the INmail/INed/INnet/INftp package.
INmail:
The INmail program extends the capabilities of AIX
PS/2 to allow the sending and reading of electronic mail. Each user
on the system has a private electronic mailbox for receiving mail from
other users, who may exist on other systems using INmail/INed/INnet/INftp.
The INmail program also has a reminder facility
that provides the user with the ability to send reminders at specified
times, process messages on delivery, start a program at a specified time,
or cancel unsent reminders.
The INmail program allows you to select one of several
editors for message composition. This includes INed, the AIX PS/2
editor (ed), or no editor (when sending brief messages).
INed:
The INed editor is a high-function full-screen text editor
that allows users to edit more than one file at a time, and to execute
AIX commands without leaving the editor. It also supports multiple
windowing of files. The INed editor can scroll horizontally and vertically;
handle word wrapping; cut and paste blocks of text; and move and copy blocks
of text.
INnet:
The INnet program provides the communications facilities
when two or more AIX PS/2 systems running INmail/INed/INnet/INftp are connected.
It permits users on separate, interconnected AIX PS/2 systems to print
locally generated output on remote printers. The INnet program can route
output from one system through one or more different systems, so that there
is no need for direct communication links between each of the connected
systems.
File Transfer Program (INftp):
The INftp component enables you to transfer files interactively
between systems, and to enter commands interactively to be executed on
remote systems. Once the communication link with another system has been
established, you may send, receive, rename, and delete files on the remote
system.

TCPIP (2 floppies)
AIX PS/2 TCP/IP incorporates several communication protocols
that permit information exchange between personal computer workstations
in peer-to-peer or peer-to-host modes. TCP/IP (Transmission Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol) is a host-to-host communications protocol familiar
to users of UNIX and other operating systems.
End users can request the following tasks:
Transferring a file between the user and a server, or
between two hosts
Relaying mail within or across networks or a subset of
a network
Displaying information about problem determination and
the network status
Reporting the status of a remote host or user
Connecting and logging in to a remote host
Synchronizing the time across all the hosts in a network
Printing at a remote printer
Executing commands on a remote host
With the appropriate communications adapter hardware, the TCP/IP program
can support direct attachment to an Internet Network such as Ethernet or
to an IBM Token-Ring network.
See "AIX PS/2 Commands" in topic 12.0 for a list of the commands included
in the TCP/IP package.

X25 (2 floppies)
AIX PS/2 X.25 allows a properly configured PS/2 to attach as Data Terminal
Equipment (DTE) to an X.25 packet-switched data network. X.25
is
supported on a single port or on two ports simultaneously.
AIX PS/2 X.25 supports Recommendation X.25 International
Telegraph and Telephone Consultative Committee (CCITT) 1980 and Recommendation
X.25 CCITT 1984. CCITT X.25 defines three levels of the DTE interface:
physical, link, and packet. The physical interface supported include
RS-232-C, X.21bis, and V.24. Line speeds up to 19.2 Kilobits per
second
will be supported. The link-level access procedure supported
is HDLC LAPB protocol. Packet-level functions include support for
64 virtual circuits and connection to X.25 networks through either TCP/IP
or Transparent Computing Facility (TCF).
AIX PS/2 X.25 meets DoD Network (DDN) certification for X.25 and X.25
to TCP/IP.
ASCII terminals attached to an X.25 packet-switched data network can
send ASCII data to the PS/2. The ASCII data is available to other
AIX systems via TCF or TCP/IP. When the PS/2 is part of a TCF cluster,
any node in the TCF cluster can establish a connection over an IBM Token-Ring
or Ethernet LAN through the PS/2 to the X.25 network. Using TCP/IP
Telnet
support, users on other systems can log in to the PS/2 for access to
the X.25 network.
An application program interface is provided so that programmers can
write code to support private protocols.
