Intek (Integration Technologies, Inc.) is now shipping Version 2.0b of our C++ product. Derived from AT&T C++ version 2.0, Intek C++ is a translator that generates C code as output, but is a "true compiler" in the sense that it does a full parse and syntax check. The DOS version runs in protected mode at compile time, allowing access to all memory in the machine. Intek C++ can thus compile extremely large source modules. Intek C++ is unique in its support for all memory models for DOS. Important to Windows developers is its support for the small data models ('small' and 'medium') as recommended by Microsoft. Intek C++ 2.0b fully supports the extended keywords 'near', 'far', 'huge', 'cdecl', 'pascal', 'fortran', as well as the new Microsoft 6.0 keywords -- '_based', '_self', '_segment', '_segname', and the based pointer operator ':>'. You can also use Intek C++ to create protected-mode 386 DOS extender applications (via the MetaWare and Watcom 386 C compilers). Users are excited! Rick Lambright of Phycom Corporation says that Intek C++ 2.0b is " ... a truly powerful, professional 2.0 Cfront offering, with unmatched flexibility for DOS and Windows C++ program development ... An excellent (heck, it may be the *only*) C++ 2.0 alternative ... for those that prefer the time-tested stability of using the Microsoft C compiler for Windows compilations." Reviewers are impressed! "Of the Cfront compilers, I'd go with Intek ... the fastest and most robust of the three [evaluated]" -- Dan Saks, Computer Language, October 1990. Intek C++ supports the largest variety of C Compilers in the industry: Microsoft C, versions 5.1, 6.0; Microsoft C with Windows, 5.1, 6.0; Turbo C 2.0; Watcom C 8.0; Watcom C 386 8.0; Metaware High C 386. Intek C++ can be made to work with other standard (at least K & R) and robust C compilers that supports 31 character names. Some of our users cross-compile from Intek C++ to C compilers for chips like the TI 34020. Intek C++ sells for $495 US for single copies; site licenses are available. It runs under MS-DOS on the 80386 with 2 MB of RAM, and also under Unix System V/386. The Unix version can cross-compile to any DOS C compiler. We at Intek have been using C++ in our manufacturing and warehouse automation projects since 1987. C++ is extremely useful in linking islands of automation to our customers' business systems. We welcome questions regarding the use of C++ for these applications. -- Mark McWiggins Integration Technologies, Inc.
