Packaging

Digital UNIX Version 4.0 is available as a base system kit, containing the operating system, windowing environment, and documentation all integrated on CD-ROM, as well as the following three extensions, also included on the CD-ROM, that provide additional functionality and that require separate licenses and Product Authorization Keys (PAK) to access:

• Server Extensions

  The Server Extensions kit contains the Remote Installation Service (RIS) software, which allows a server system using the bootp protocol to install Digital UNIX Version 4.0 to client systems over a Local Area Network (LAN). For more information on RIS, see the guide Sharing Software on a Local Area Network.

• Developers' Toolkit

  The Developers' Toolkit is designed for programmers using languages other than C, like Fortran, C++, Ada, or Pascal, who require the complete software development environment but who do not require the C compiler, which is not available in this kit.

  In addition, the Developers' Toolkit contains a fully operational dbx debugger that allows the debugging of source code. The dbx debugger that ships on the base system kit only supports debugging a kernel.

• C Developers' Extensions

  The C Developers' Extensions is designed for C programmers and includes the C compiler, assembler, and the complete software development environment for both the base and worksystem environment.

  In addition, the C Developers' Extensions kit contains a fully operational dbx debugger that allows the debugging of source code. The dbx debugger that ships on the base system kit only supports debugging a kernel.
