We have a Compaq 386-33 (with 387 chip) running SCO Unix 3.2.2. We plan
to purchase a Weitek 3167 math coprocessor to speed up our number-crunching.
We also have an ALR 486 machine on order and plan to purchase for it a
Weitek 4167.
From what I understand, SCO supports *applications* that use the Weiteks,
but their development system (i.e., cc and rcc compilers) doesn't generate
*code* that uses the Weiteks.
1. Are there any compilers out there for SCO-Unix that take advantage
of Weitek coprocessors?
2. Are any of them link-compatible with our existing Unix object libraries?
(We use an Informix 4GL development system. In order to add external
modules we have to compile them in C and re-link the 4GL intepreter.)
3. What are your experiences with any of them?
4. Do they have any neat things like symbolic debuggers?
Thanks in advance to any responses.
