| Easy to use... |
FreePort Express operates like a
compiler. Your translated SPARC application contains optimized Alpha code -- not
interpreted or emulated code. |
| No source code required... |
You can translate without source code
and without source language compilers so your executables can be up and running on Alpha
in minutes! You can do a native port at your leisure. |
| Supports most nonprivileged
user-mode executables... |
You can translate most nonprivileged
user-mode executables and user shared libraries that run on Solaris v1.n (SunOS
v4.1n). Included in this category are static and dynamic user executables and
user shared libraries, as well as nearly all application programs that use Xview, Open
Look, Motif, or other X11-based window managers. |
| Adjusts for differences
between SPARC and Alpha architectures... |
FreePort Express automatically handles
the changeovers from a 32-bit to a 64-bit architecture and from a big-endian to a
little-endian architecture. |
| Includes documentation and
support... |
Complete documentation comes with the
kit and is also part of this web site. If you have technical questions or have problems
with FreePort Express translations, you can send us email at fpx-bug@scrugs.lkg.dec.com.
