Germany Keywords: Hello Net, I am looking for an implementation of DIBOL which runs under UNIX. DIBOL is a language widely used for commercial purposes. DEC supplies it under its oprating systems (except I believe VMS). I have a friend (without net access) who needs a DIBOL implementation for UNIX/ULTRIX to run on the PDP-11's and MicroVAXen. If anyone could shed some light on how difficult it is to port things from a RSTS system to this UNIX/DIBOL. Is it easy (i.e. just recompile) or hard (will need to write your own libraries, apply kernel changes etc.). Please help. Is there anyone in DECUS who could help ?

There is a version of Dibol called DBL that runs under unix. I have not used it but have seen some packages that were written on DEC machines ported successfully to AT&T machines using the package. Contact your AT&T rep. for info about it... It may also be possible that it runs on other UNIX boxes. steve blasingame (oklahoma city) ihnp4!occrsh!gorgo!bsteve bsteve@eris.berkeley.edu

[] DBL -- the version of DIBOL (or at least one of them) that runs on UNIX is also available on the CCI Power 6/32 and Power 5/32. The company that sells it is DISC, and they're in Sacramento at 916-635-7300. We (at CCI) don't have much experience with it to date, although it looks quite good on paper and DISC seems to be a pleasure to deal with, but we should be getting more experience in the near future.
