[mod.newprod] Enhanced VENIX/Rainbow

usenet@cuae2.UUCP (12/16/86)

The Boston Software Works (BSW) is now distributing an improved version
of VENIX/Rainbow.  VENIX/Rainbow is a complete UNIX(tm) system for
the DEC Rainbow 100, developed by VenturCom, Inc. of Cambridge, Mass.
It is a V7-based system, with extensions such as plot(3) drivers
for the Rainbow color graphics board and DEC LA50 printer, semaphores,
and shared memory.

Standard VENIX/Rainbow requires and supports the DEC RD51 winchester
disk (10MB) only.

The Boston Software Works enhancements to VENIX/Rainbow include:

   1)	Support for any disk physically connectible to the Rainbow.
	Our development system runs a 70MB Micropolis disk.

   2)	Virtual consoles, as found in VENIX on IBM-compatible machines,
	and also in XENIX and Microport System V/AT.

   3)	Support for the NEC V20 chip, which replaces the Intel 8088
	for a 10-15% performance gain.

   4)	Support for simultaneous use of a monochrome display (for
	terminal/console use) and a color graphics display (for graphics).

   5)	Ports (on an as-is basis) of several public domain programs,
	such as the Usenet news software, rn, smail, and Jove, an
	excellent EMACS subset.

   6)	Support for the CHS dual-winchester controller.

The price (single copy) for VENIX/Rainbow is $795 and includes a complete
manual set.  For more information, contact:
