HP-UX 5.2
Series 300
HP-UX
5.2
adds
support
for
both
computers
while maintaining object code
compat-
ibility
with
earlier releases.
Programs
will continue
to
run
without
recompiling.
The
5.2 release
supercedes all previous Series
300 releases.
Additional comlnands have been
added
so
that
the
computer
has
a
command
set identical
to
the
Model 840. All
commands
that
are
not
hardware,
dependent
are
on
the
Series 300 systems,
except
job
control.
The
AppHcation Execution Environment (AXE) is now available in
both
a single-user version
and
a new multi-user version. Single-user limitations have been removed. No additional com-
mands
or
utilities are included.
It
is intended for use
with
run-only multi-user applications.
Additional
administration
may
be
necessary for a multi-user system.
The
multi-user
Program-
ming Environment now requires
the
multi-user
AXE
as a prerequisite.
All
of
these
computer's
HP-UX
systems feature a built-in LAN, allowing
them
to
function as
departmental
resource servers for sharing space on large local discs
and
for sharing
attached
high-quality
printers
and
plotters. Because
the
LAN is
an
industry
standard,
the
Model 350
workstations
can
also be connected
to
other
vendors' systems
to
access
data
and
to
utilize
the
other
computing
resources available
to
the
department.
BASIC 5.0
BASIC 5.0
(HP
98613C) is a revision of
the
Series 200/300 BASIC 4.0, Revision 4.03. BASIC
5.0
provides upward compatibility
with
BASIC

File Systelm
(HFS) Binary. Model 350 users now have access
to
the
HP-UX
file system directory,
with
or
without
HP-
UX. HFS
is
compatible
with
LIF
and
SRM
and
provides easy switching
between
BASIC
and
HP-UX
via soft re-boot.
BASIC 5.0 is sold
either
as a
standalone
language system
or
bundled
with Series 200/300
systems, including
the
Model 330
or
350.
Pascal 3.2
Pascal 3.2 provides selective file back-up
and
is object code compatible
with
Pascal 3.1. An
HFS Binary also provides access
to
the
HP-UX
file system directory
with
or
without
HP-UX.
Software Compatibility
For software, these computers:
• Use
the
same Series 300 Application Software
Object
Code .
• Are source code compatible
with
HP
Precision Architecture.
