LATTICE CROSS COMPILER AVAILABLE FOR APOLLO WORKSTATIONS April 27 -- Apollo today announced the availability of a cross compiler, developed by Lattice, Inc. that lets software engineers develop personal computer (PC) applications on Apollo workstations. Apollo's workstation-based software development environment, integrated with the Lattice C Cross Compiler, enables software engineers to produce applications much faster than they can using a PC, the traditional platform for developing PC applications. With Domain/PCC -- Apollo's IBM PC/AT co-processor -- and the Lattice C Cross Compiler running on a Domain Series 3000 Personal Workstation, programmers can write, compile, and link their applications and then debug and test the program under MS-DOS all at the same workstation. In addition, Domain/PCI --Apollo's personal computer interconnect linking IBM and IBM-compatible PC's to Apollo workstations -- can be used to allow software engineers to download an application to existing PCs, protecting the investment companies have made in computer equipment. Apollo's advanced workstation-based software engineering environment manages complex software development projects and solves productivity problems unique to large software engineering workgroups -- capabilities PCs don't offer.
