(R) Registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation
This support includes code set support, national language encoding and handling, natively attached keyboards and character handling tables (collation, classification and conversion). These languages are in addition to the currently supported list of language/territory locales.
In addition, native keyboard attach support is being added with AIX Version 3.2.3 for RISC System/6000 for:
(TM) Trademark of International Business Machines Corporation.
The XL C Compiler 1.2.1 is an optionally installed part of AIX/6000 Version 3.2.3. It produces optimized object code which exploits the RISC System/6000 hardware and is upwardly compatible (ie. both source and object) with XL C Compiler 1.2. It conforms to the following industry standards :
Functional Highlights for XL C Compiler 1.2.1 include:
AIX Version 3.2.3 for RISC System/6000 also includes support for the following separately orderable feature. The planned availability date is April 1993.
ESCON channel connection support is a separately chargeable feature that allows the RISC System/6000 to communicate to a System/390 (S/390) (TM) host with the aid of ESCON adapters (see Product Annoucement ZG92-0341 dated October 20, 1992). This feature enables a RISC System/6000 to emulate a 3088 control unit. The following are the types of protocols that can be used to communicate between the RISC System/6000 and the S/390:
If the RISC System/6000 does not have a 3.5-inch diskette drive, it is the responsibility of the customer to provide for a methodology of transferring the fix images from diskette to the system. Such a means may involve remote mounting over a network or may involve copying to tape and using the copied tape as source.
For large software service updates, the customer may (at IBM's discretion) receive the updates via tape or other supported service media.
Consult your IBM Marketing Representative.
This program is ordered using System Installation Productivity Option (SIPO) ordering. Please refer to AIX Version 3 for RISC System/6000 announcement, ZP90-0140 dated February 15, 1990, ZS91-0103 dated January 22, 1991, and also to ZP92-0104, dated January 21, 1992 for further information.
