len@geac.UUCP (Leonard Vanek) (02/03/87)
Position(s) Available Background: Required - Unix, C, compilers (practice or theory), experience with text editors, formatters, electronic mail systems, bachelors level degree in computer science. Desired - Emacs (esp. Gnu), TeX (esp. LaTeX), writing n/troff macros, structured design methodologies, a large variety of software tools (both as a user and as a creator), Ada, C++, X-windows, SUN windows, Yacc, Object-oriented programming, VAX/Ultrix. An advanced degree in CS or extensive software engineering experience would be an asset. The Position: A senior systems analyst is required to join a R&D group creating a complete software development/project management Environment. We intend to support the software development life cycle from the requirements phase straight through design, implementation, installation, and maintenance while minimizing the amount of repetitive work and maximizing reliability and maintainability. We are currently in the middle of the design phase of this project and will soon begin the implementation and testing of some of the already-designed components. The specific position to be filled involves the following: Support and enhancement of one or more text editors, operating in a windowed environment. The windowed environment will be achieved both by use of X-windows on bitmapped screens and by developing a character-only version of X for less sophisticated terminals. Utilities to provide consistent user interfaces for electronic mail and broadcast services, database administration, as well as other administrative functions. Extensions to the development language (either via a preprocessor or by use of packages/classes in Ada or C++) to integrate database access. Contact: Doug Peters Geac Computers 350 Steelcase Rd. W.
