The base o/s is 3.2.2 (Maintenance update 2), the SDS is just called "Release 3.2" and gives "Issue 4.1.5" as the pcc and software generation utilities version. The SDS diskettes say Release 3.2 Version 2.0. -- Alan S. Denney @ Informix Software, Inc.

Thanks for any information. Note that this info pertains to 386 Unix products. There are currently two versions of C available : - C Programming Language Utilities (CPLU) issue 4.1.6 - Standard C Development Environment (SCDE) issue 5.0/3 C issue 4.1.6 is available for 386 System V Release 3.2.2; the main feature of 4.1.6 that I remember is that it has the ELF loader. ELF (Executable and Linking Format) is the object format that goes forward after System V Release 3.2.2. It supercedes and is compatible with the COFF (Common Object File Format) format of previous versions of CPLU for 386 Unix. C issue 5.0 is ANSI standard C, and is the going forward version of CPLU. C issue 5 will be available on System V Release 4.0, 4.1.6 will not. Other features : - ANSI S3.159-1989 compliant - ELF objects - stdio now supports arbitrary number of open files - three new compiler switches to set the degree of ANSI compatibility from Kernighan-Ritchie C to ANSI C. - ANSI compliance warnings added to LINT - removal of arbitrary compilation limits; compiler tables grow dynamically - enhancements for international software development and operating environments SCDE 5.0/4 will be the version of C issue 5 that runs on System V Release 4. 4.1.6 is orderable as : PEC 1331-025 - CPLU 4.1.6 1331-033 - CPLU 4.1.6, Unix 3.2.2 16-user 1331-034 - CPLU 4.1.6, Unix 3.2.2 unlimitted C issue 5.0 is orderable as : PEC 1331-040 - SCDE 5.0/3 1331-043 - SCDE 5/0/3, Unix 3.2.2 16-user 1331-044 - SCDE 5/0/3, Unix 3.2.2 unlimitted Hope this answers your questions, -- Frank McGee, AT&T Entry Level Systems Support attmail!fmcgee (preferred) att!cuuxb!fmcgee (those that can't reach attmail)
