The Boston Software Works (BSW) is now distributing an improved version
of VENIX/Rainbow. VENIX/Rainbow is a complete UNIX(tm) system for
the DEC Rainbow 100, developed by VenturCom, Inc. of Cambridge, Mass.
It is a V7-based system, with extensions such as plot(3) drivers
for the Rainbow color graphics board and DEC LA50 printer, semaphores,
and shared memory.
Standard VENIX/Rainbow requires and supports the DEC RD51 winchester
disk (10MB) only.
The Boston Software Works enhancements to VENIX/Rainbow include:
1) Support for any disk physically connectible to the Rainbow.
Our development system runs a 70MB Micropolis disk.
2) Virtual consoles, as found in VENIX on IBM-compatible machines,
and also in XENIX and Microport System V/AT.
3) Support for the NEC V20 chip, which replaces the Intel 8088
for a 10-15% performance gain.
4) Support for simultaneous use of a monochrome display (for
terminal/console use) and a color graphics display (for graphics).
5) Ports (on an as-is basis) of several public domain programs,
such as the Usenet news software, rn, smail, and Jove, an
excellent EMACS subset.
6) Support for the CHS dual-winchester controller.
The price (single copy) for VENIX/Rainbow is $795 and includes a complete
manual set. For more information, contact:
