| Idex A/S |
Developed various software components of a IBM mainframe protocol
converter including: user interface, printer driver and copy-protection
security system. Developed a software driver to support a wide range of
colour printers. Developed a suite of programs to allow users to configure
these protocol converters and wrote the user manual for this package.
Developed prototype of Autoform™. It used forms created with a
Windows based desk-top publisher and mapped output from IBM mainframe
systems into spaces on the forms. One unique feature of the product,
developed during prototyping, was that the unit could store more than one
form design and automatically select the correct one based on the contents
of the data stream from the mainframe. |
The protocol converter was an embedded system, running a real-time
operating system, using a 6809 microprocessor. The configuration package
was written in Zortech C on IBM PC
Autoform was developed in Smalltalk/V on IBM PC |
| LSI Logic Ltd |
Evaluated software packages ranging from ASIC Design packages through
