One version is for BSD UNIX. >[...] Some of the tools are a scanner, parser, >debugger, prettyprinter, etc. >For $100.00, you get a tape (My guess you would want "FORMAT D" >tar format (BSD Unix). You get about 30,000 blocks (500 bytes/block). >The address follows: > Toolpack/1 Distribution Service > Numerical Algorithms Group Inc. > 1101 31st Street, Suite 100 > Downers Grove, Illinois 60515 U.S.A. > >I suggest you call them (312) 971-2337 and ask for their information >"package", about 5 pages. > >The people will talk to only distribute the tape, so the tools are >more or less AS IS. But you do get "update" (bug reports and information). > >I believe that you can "bring up" the part of the tools that you need >and leave the rest for later. > >Really this is a tool hierarchy.
