Can anyone out there give me a short description of something called "Software Developer's Toolkit" from MicroSoft? What tools does it comprise? What output formats it supports?... Thanks in advance Markus Nikolopoulos markus@log-hb.UUCP

I have a copy of the Software Development System, if this is what you're referring to. It includes things such as (from the index) the ability to compile and link DOS programs under xenix, the lint program, make, SCCS, the adb program debugger, lex, yacc, a macro processor, as well as fairly extensive references for assembler and c. I have my own question: I have my computer running Xenix System V (ver. 2.00). It runs at 10 MHz w/ a '287, 640 K on board, and 5 Meg expansion. I have a Tandy 3000 with a Tecmar Graphics Master display card (which can emulate an EGA) and Tandy's EGA compatible monitor. I keep getting a very odd error: after every 3 or 4 pages of text, a line of garbage will appear. As the screen scrolls, line by line the garbage expands. After exactly 24 lines have gone by, the garbage disappears and I can see what I would have seen had the garbage not been there! This is the only incompatability I have found with my system. I know that it is not due to either the upped speed (the error appeared running at the intended speed of 8 MHz as well), the memory (don't ask me why it could possibly be in the memory, but just for your information) There is the possiblilty that the Graphics Master is not in the EGA mode... utilities for DOS were included with the board, but not for Xenix. I would appreciate any suggestions anyone might have. By the way, the garbage is in a very regular pattern....the first character is always a } in red with a white background. After that the squares alternate between black and white and every once in a while (at constant locations) other inverse-video characters do appear. This is quite annoying and I would like to fix it if possible. Sam Southard, Jr. genghis!root@csvax.Caltech.Edu.UUCP

The Software Developers Toolkit contains the C compiler and all the
other programs used when writing programs under XENIX. The normal
UNIX system is made up from the BASE system + Software Toolkit + Text
formating system.
It also contains cross compiler support for PC DOS.
