[comp.sys.transputer] Logical Systems Transputer Toolset on Niche

mit@hutcs.hut.FI (Markku Tamminen) (01/16/89)

I have ordered the above system, and am looking for references to people who
have used in on a Niche board (specifically there is a NT1000 that I could use).
Please send me some mail if you have tried this combination. Thanks!

You didn't say whether you want to use the Logical Systems Transputer Toolset
on a bare Niche board or on a Niche board running PRE.  PRE is of course
simply Trollius (formerly called Trillium) with minor changes.  Us Trollius
developers group at Cornell have been working on expanding the choice of
compilers for Trollius users.  At this point I have it set up so that
Trollius APPLICATIONS can be compiled with the Logical Systems compiler,
although Trollius itself not yet.  We are working on it.  If you only have
the PRE BINARIES that's almost good enough, but I am not sure whether the
current hacked version will work with the PRE services -- I only tested it
using our original (version 1.1) Trollius.  I will try it soon since we just
got our own Niche board + PRE to work.  (The Logical Systems compiler has a
MUCH better math library than the Unidot one shipped with PRE).  (I will also
try and run the Logical Systems LOADER on the bare Niche board, without PRE.)

I suspect you will need a SOURCE license for the Logical Systems compiler
(about $1000) to use our thing since you'll need to compile it on the Sun
and you'll also need our modified SOURCES to the logical systems compiler
and libraries.
