The new development kit and programs are designed to support UNIX System consolidation, the move to network computing based business solutions, and a smooth migration to forthcoming 64-bit Intel environments. The new developer kit, named The UnixWare and OpenServer Development Kit, or UDK, provides the ability to create a single binary that will run on any of SCO's three main server platforms, UnixWare 7, SCO OpenServer Release 5, or SCO UnixWare 2.1. This powerful environment enables developers to create an application that runs on all of SCO's mainstream offerings, allowing them to target a broad market without the effort of maintaining multiple applications. The UDK features an integrated development environment for Java technology, enabling developers to product a new generation of client-independent, Webtop-based solutions. "The delivery of SCO's UnixWare 7, and the new UDK, thrusts SCO into one of our main target markets, the enterprise developer," said Mark Pittman, Vice President of Marketing for TakeFive Software. "We are excited to work with SCO to deliver our leading-edge code comprehension and development tool, SNiFF+, on the volume Intel UNIX platform. Our customers will now benefit from the combination of great hardware price/performance and the superb performance, scalability and reliability of UnixWare 7. We are proud to support SNiFF+ for UnixWare 7." The UDK features enhanced C and C++ compilation systems, a powerful new debugger that works both in Graphical and character mode, new performance profiling and optimization tools, extensive APIs and tools for TCP/IP, networking, and graphics, and an extensive set of HTML-based documentation. The UDK also provides a starting point for 64-bit applications, by providing support for 64-bit "long-long" data types, and compile time switching between 32- and 64-bit applications. Continuing on the forefront of the network computing revolution, SCO's UDK also includes leading Java development tools. Featured are 1) the Java Development Kit 1.1.3, including a JVM, compilers, debugger, JDBC, and other classes 2) SCO Edition of Sun Microsystems, Inc.'s Java Workshop 2.0 and SCO Edition of Sun Microsystems, Inc.'s Java Studio 1.0. The SCO Edition of Sun Microsystems, Inc.'s Java Workshop is a full-featured visual development kit for writing Java applications. It includes a GUI builder, advanced multi-threaded debugging, a code profiling tool, a fast Java compiler and support for JavaBeans components (portable, reusable program modules). The SCO Edition of Sun Microsystems, Inc.'s Java Studio allows users to create Java applications and applets without writing any code or having to know Java. Together, these two tools provide powerful Java development capabilities for building powerful business critical applications as well as exciting Internet and World Wide Web applications. To support the new development emphasis on Intel processor-based UNIX environments, SCO is also in the process of introducing new developer programs. The new programs will bolster information flow to developers, support, a wide variety of free and discounted product for developers, new developer education services, and an array of Go-To-Market services to make SCO developers successful. The base level of the program is FREE, and developers who sign up today at http://www.sco.com/developer will receive notice shortly about the new program and how to participate. Special developer pricing for UnixWare 7 and the UDK is now available to members of the developer program.
