SPARCworks Professional is an integrated development environment consisting of the powerful, graphical SPARCworks toolset and the SPARCompiler products. SMCC also announces a special promotion to ease the transition to Solaris 2.0, including Transition Packs and extremely aggressive pricing for the C language products. The SPARCworks Professional products are a strong addition to SMI's already leading software development position, making SPARC/Solaris the best software development platform in the Unix industry. PRODUCT POSITIONING -------------------- The SPARCworks Professional products are the first development products available on Solaris 2.0. The SPARCworks Professional products, created by SunPro, are complete development environments, consisting of both the SPARCworks development tools and the SPARCompiler products. SPARCworks Professional products offer programmer productivity benefits and unique capabilities previously unavailable. The SPARCworks Professional products will also be available on SunOS 4.1.X at the next release in October 1992, replacing the existing SunOS 4.1.X compiler products. The SPARCompilers will have then added superscaler optimization to take advantage of the SuperSPARC processor. This will improve performance relative to the existing SunPro compilers (e.g. Sun C 1.1, Sun Fortran 1.4, etc). To ease the transition to Solaris 2.0, Transition Packs have been created. Transition Packs are not different products; they simply copackage the Solaris 2.0 and SunOS 4.1.X development products (for the price of one), so developers can immediately begin migrating their applications to Solaris 2.0. Transition Packs will ultimately help developers complete their migration to Solaris 2.0 quickly and easily, using a common SPARCworks Professional development environment on both Solaris 2.0 and SunOS 4.1.X. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION -------------------- The products are available in a variety of configurations: SPARCworks - development tools alone SPARCompiler C, C++, FORTRAN, Pascal - compiler alone SPARCworks Professional C, C++, FORTRAN, Pascal - compiler plus tools SPARCworks ---------- SPARCworks includes six development tools, all powerful, graphical and integrated: SPARCworks Manager - manages the other tools. Allows Sun and third party tools to be managed as a single session SourceBrowser - graphical static analyzer used to better understand software, with extensive C++ object-oriented programming tools and function call graphers Debugger - powerful symbolic (source code) debugger based on Sun's dbx. New support for optimized code and shared libraries. Integrated edit-compile-debug cycle for high productivity Analyzer - powerful and graphical performance analyzer and optimizer. Unique disk paging improvement tool reduces virtual memory requirements of application (up to 40% reduction in virtual memory requirements for some applications tested, resulting in up to 20% overall performance improvement!) FileMerge - graphical tool to compare and merge files, especially for concurrent development MakeTool - graphical user interface to the Unix make utility, to manage and understand the software build process A high degree of integration among these tools is achieved using ToolTalk, Sun's widely accepted, multiplatform intertool messaging system included for free on every Sun system. For instance, any tool can be started, stopped, or hidden via the SPARCworks Manager using ToolTalk messages. And because ToolTalk is an open interface, third party or in-house applications can be integrated similarly. SPARCworks also uses a simple and intuitive OPEN LOOK GUI (including hypertext online documentation) which adds another degree of integration. SPARCompilers ------------- The SPARCompilers are optimized for the SPARC architecture, employing advanced optimization techniques which enable developers to get the most performance for their applications. There are four SPARCompiler products: SPARCompiler C 2.0 - supports ANSI C and K&R C SPARCompiler C++ 3.0 - based on AT&T cfront 3.0, including templates SPARCompiler FORTRAN 2.0 - supports ANSI standards SPARCompiler Pascal 3.0 - based on Berkeley Pascal All four SPARCompilers support SPARCworks 2.0, so there is no need to purchase tools twice for multilanguage development. SPARCworks Professional ----------------------- SPARCworks Professional products are simply SPARCworks with a SPARCompiler (e.g. SPARCworks Professional C is SPARCworks plus SPARCompiler C). Both SPARCworks and the SPARCompilers use floating licenses, which allow a license to be shared among many users on a single network. The SPARCworks floating license is independent of the SPARCompiler floating license in the SPARCworks Professional products. PROMOTION DESCRIPTION ----------------------- To ease the transition to Solaris 2.0 for software developers and other users of language products, a special promotion is being offered for a limited time. The promotion includes two components: 1) Transition Packs - the Transition Packs offer a very attractive path for customers migrating to Solaris 2.0. Transition Packs copackage tools for both Solaris 2.0 and SunOS 4.1.X - for the price of one. Included are the SPARCworks Professional products for Solaris 2.0 (e.g. SPARCworks Professional Fortran 2.0) and the existing products for SunOS 4.1.X (e.g. Sun Fortran 1.4). And when the SPARCworks Professional product is available on SunOS 4.1.X in October, customers will be eligible to receive that release for FREE, allowing them to port their software to Solaris 2.0 using a common SPARCworks Professional development environment. Transition Packs will be priced identically to the price of the SPARCworks Professional product by itself. 2) Promotional Pricing - for customers who need just a C compiler, SPARCompiler C will be offered at $395-$495 (regular price $695 - $795). For customers that need a C compiler and development tools, the C Transition Pack will be offered at $895 - $995. Of course, the C Transition Pack will include all the benefits of the other Transition Packs, namely: * SPARCworks Professional C (for Solaris 2.0) * Sun C 1.1 (for SunOS 4.1.X) * a common SPARCworks Professional development environment for both Solaris 2.0 and SunOS 4.1.X (in October) For C, the C Transition Pack represents a savings of over 70% off regular prices. For C++, FORTRAN, and Pascal, this is over 35% off. See the Competitive Analysis below to see how outstanding these offers are! The worldwide promotional offer will be available through 30 September, 1992. The promotion will be offered only on the single license configurations of the products - no multi-license configurations (e.g. 10 packs). Customers will receive the free upgrade simply by calling SunPro and registering their software (this must be done before 1 November, 1992). FEATURES AND BENEFITS ----------------------- Tightly integrated development tools Highly productive, rapid programming environment C++ capabilities (class grapher and Easy and powerful object-oriented class browser) programming Performance Analyzer Unique! Powerful graphical software performance analysis tool accelerates tuning applications for peak performance ToolTalk SPARCworks tools use ToolTalk to integrate with each other for faster edit-compile-debug cycle. Integrate third party tools for even greater productivity Floating Licenses Share a license among users on a network to save costs and offer flexibility over node locked licenses OPEN LOOK GUI, Online documentation Lower learning curve, and graphical output for programmer productivity Multilanguage development Choose the right language for the task. Mixed language applications supported SPARC optimization SPARCompilers deliver improved performance on all SPARC processors, including SuperSPARC Transition Packs Easy migration to Solaris 2.0 for all software developers via a common development environment for both Solaris 2.0 and SunOS 4.1.X Promotional pricing Cost effective, easy migration to Solaris 2.0 for C developers, especially those using the SunOS 4.1.X bundled C compiler. Extremely low-cost C compiler for casual use ($395) HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE CONSIDERATIONS -------------------------------------- SPARCworks Professional products (SPARCworks, SPARCompiler products) run on SPARCsystems with at least 16 MB of main memory and 40 MB swap space. 45 MB file space is required on the file server for storing the product. SPARCworks Professional for Solaris 2.0 requires Solaris 2.0. The SPARCworks Professional for SunOS 4.1.X release in October requires SunOS 4.1.1 or greater and OpenWindows 3.0. Effective use of the floating licenses require that these SPARCsystems be networked. Q & A ------ Q1: What products can I order now? All products in the Pricing Section below are orderable immediately. However, the promotions and the products for Solaris 2.0 will not ship until FY93. Because of this, if you order the promotional products during FY92, either specify that partial shipments are desired or order the promotional products separately from any other equipment. Order the Transition Packs or the promotional SPARCompiler products to take advantage of the promotional benefits. Transition Packs copackage the existing SunOS 4.1.X compiler product with a SPARCworks Professional for Solaris 2.0 product. The promotional SPARCompiler products are for customers that want the compiler alone, providing a SPARCompiler for Solaris 2.0. Both Transition Packs and promotional SPARCompilers will allow customers to receive a free upgrade to the next release of the respective products (which include support for both SunOS 4.1.X and Solaris 2.0). There may be occasions where ordering the non-Transition Packs or non-promo SPARCompilers are needed. For instance, the SPARCworks Professional C++ and FORTRAN 10 packs are not included in the Transition Packs. Be aware that the non-Transition Packs do not have all the Transition Pack benefits (e.g. 10 packs are not copackaged with 10 existing SunOS 4.1.X compiler products). Please see the ordering instructions below for complete details. Q2: How do customers receive the upgrade? Customers must simply call in to register their software with SunPro, who will then automatically ship the upgrade for free in October. This is the same step customers use to "unlock" the software's floating licenses, and this must take place before November 1, 1992. Q3: Why is the 4.1.X release of SPARCworks Professional after the Solaris 2.0 release? Solaris 2.0 is the strategic direction of Sun Microsystems, Incorporated, and resources are invested to ensure the timely delivery of products on this platform. It was also important to have development tools on Solaris 2.0 simultaneously with Solaris 2.0 FCS. Recognizing that customers want to migrate their applications to Solaris 2.0 using sophisticated development tools on SunOS 4.1.X, SunPro will deliver the SPARCworks Professional products on SunOS 4.1.X as well (in October 1992). SunPro is currently in Beta for SPARCworks Professional on SunOS 4.1.X. Q4: Why have the Transition Packs? The Transition Packs were created to ease the transition to Solaris 2.0. Again, customers want to migrate their applications using sophisticated development tools on SunOS 4.1.X, as well as ANSI C for C language applications. Between now and October, customers will get to use the existing SunOS 4.1.X compiler products (on SunOS 4.1.X), which provide full featured compilers (including ANSI C) and 2 of the six SPARCworks development tools (Debugger and SourceBrowser). This will allow customers to make progress in migrating their applications to Solaris 2.0. In October, the next SPARCworks Professional release adds SunOS 4.1.X support, allowing customers to enjoy the same developer benefits on SunOS 4.1.X they have been receiving on Solaris 2.0. This will further speed the migration to Solaris 2.0. Q5: What about a free C compiler ? Sun is providing a competitively priced ($695) C compiler to all customers. And with the promotional price at $395, Sun is making an offer that's hard to refuse. Floating licenses even allow these licenses to be shared. Also, there WILL be a free ANSI C compiler and debugger when Sun ships Cygnus' GNU C compiler on CDWare this Fall. This compiler will be freely distributable anywhere, and complete professional support will be available from Cygnus Support. Finally, the benefits of unbundling the C compiler will become apparent as third party vendors begin to offer more choices at lower prices (the benefits of open competition) to Sun customers. Q6: What will be released in October? In October, the next release of SPARCworks Professional will arrive. This will include a new release of the SPARCompiler products, which will add support for SunOS 4.1.X and SuperSPARC optimizations. The SuperSPARC optimizations will add 8% to 12% performance gains for general real-world applications (on SuperSPARC-based systems), and up to 7% improvements on non SuperSPARC-based systems (such as the SPARCstation 2). Also included will be a new release of SPARCworks which also will add support for SunOS 4.1.X. Q7: Will there be a difference between SPARCworks Professional on Solaris 2.0 and SunOS 4.1.X? There will be one significant difference, which is related to the performance analyzer. The Analyzer takes advantage of some features in Solaris 2.0 (SVR4), and hence will only be available on Solaris 2.0. The other tools will be the same on Solaris 2.0 and SunOS 4.1.X, and the release in October will even copackage the Solaris 2.0 and SunOS 4.1.X versions of SPARCworks Professional on the same CD-ROM. Also, at that time, the floating licenses will then be interchangeable between Solaris 2.0 and SunOS 4.1.X (1 floating license for both operating systems). Q8: Will the October release of SPARCworks Professional improve the SPARCstation 10's SPECmarks? No, the performance gains mentioned above are for "real-world", general purpose applications, which are a better indicator of performance than SPECmarks for many customers. These performance gains are relative to SuperSPARC systems running SunOS 4.1.X using the existing SunPro compilers (e.g. Sun C 1.1, Sun FORTRAN 1.4, etc.). The SPECmark results were arrived at using SunPro and third party compilers. Stay tuned for further details. Q9: If a customer only wants to do SunOS 4.1.X development - what should they buy ? Buy the Transition Packs. The Transition Packs provide the existing SunOS 4.1.X compiler products for the same price as they would be by themselves. In addition, the Transition Packs provide the opportunity to receive a free upgrade to the SPARCworks Professional products when they become available on SunOS 4.1.X. Transition Pack customers will also have the SPARCworks Professional products on Solaris 2.0 available when they are ready to migrate to Solaris 2.0. Q11: What kind of floating license manager does SPARCworks use, and how does it work? SunPro uses Highland Software's floating license mechanism. After installation, the floating license software provides simple operation. SPARCworks tools, when started, contact the "license server" requesting permission to run. The license server checks its license database to determine the maximum number of simultaneous users for the application; it then compares this with its record of current use. The license server returns permission to execute if that maximum number has not been reached; otherwise it withholds permission. Q12: I thought SPARCworks already was released by SunPro. What does this announcement mean? Earlier messages announced SunPro's intentions and estimated dates, prices, etc. This announcement signifies SMCC's official pricing, configurations, dates, availability, and special promotions. Q13: I thought the existing products already included SPARCworks - what's new? The existing products (Sun C 1.1, Sun C++ 2.1, Sun FORTRAN 1.4, Sun Pascal 2.1) included a set of tools that were named SPARCworks 1.0. SPARCworks 1.0 included the Debugger and the SourceBrowser. SPARCworks 2.0 adds 4 new tools (SPARCworks Manager, Analyzer, FileMerge, MakeTool) and significantly enhances the Debugger (such as support for optimized code and shared libraries) and SourceBrowser (such as C++ class graphers and browsers). Nevertheless, the existing SunOS 4.1.X compiler products have been very successful and useful for Sun customers. Q14: If a customer already has the existing compiler products what upgrade will they get? With a support contract, customers will get the corresponding SPARCworks Professional product, since the existing SunOS 4.1.X product includes a compiler and tools. Customers receiving this upgrade will be allowed to upgrade (for free) to the next release of SPARCworks Professional in October. For instance, a Sun C 1.1 customer will receive the SPARCworks Professional C product for Solaris 2.0, and then be allowed to receive the follow-on release - SPARCworks Professional C for Solaris 2.0 and SunOS 4.1.X in October. Without a support contract, customers may purchase the per-incident upgrade to the SPARCworks Professional product. Customers who purchase a per-incident upgrade are also eligible to receive the follow-on release for free. Q15: Do the SPARCompiler products include a debugger? What should ISV's do if they depend on the debugger? The SPARCompiler products include the compiler, assembler, and runtime libraries. The debugger is included only in the SPARCworks toolset. The SPARCompiler products are intended for customers adding compiler licenses for multilanguage development, since a customer does not need to repurchase SPARCworks when adding other languages. SPARCompiler products are also useful for casual developers that do not need a debugger (e.g. shareware compiling). Q16: How are the discounts calculated (C Transition Pack provides over 70% discount, other languages over 35%)? If the Transition Pack didn't exist, new customers would need to buy the existing Sun C/C++/FORTRAN/Pascal product (for SunOS 4.1.X), and two upgrades to get what the Transition Pack provides. Using the C Transition Pack as an example: Sun C 1.1 $2000 - provides ANSI C, tools on SunOS 4.1.X upgrade 1 $995 - provides SPARCworks Professional on Solaris 2.0 upgrade 2 $995 - provides SPARCworks Professional on both Solaris 2.0 and SunOS 4.1.X TOTAL $3990 ($3990-$995)/($3990) = 75% Q17: What price changes have been made, and why were they made? The existing SunOS 4.1.X compiler products changed prices to be consistent with the SPARCworks Professional products. In particular, the price of Sun C 1.1 was lowered, Sun C++ 2.1 remained the same, and Sun FORTRAN 1.4 and Sun Pascal 2.1 were raised. It should also be noted that the discount category has changed from 'A' to 'B'. This discount more accurately reflects SMCC's costs.

Registration must take place by 1 November, 1992. 2) Promotional orders between 15 June and 29 June will not ship until 1 July, 1992. Orders during this period should indicate partial shipments or be separate from orders for other equipment. 3) SPARCompiler products, SPARCworks, and SPARCworks Professional products feature floating license technology. Floating licenses allow licenses to be used by any user, on any SPARCsystem, on the same network. The SPARCworks Professional products include a SPARCworks license and a SPARCompiler license - the licenses are independent of each other and can be used by different users simultaneously. There is a minimum amount of time (15 minutes, starting from the time the compile is complete) that the SPARCompiler licenses are held for each use. This is to ensure that large compile jobs (e.g. make's) can complete without losing their licenses. The SPARCworks licenses are held for the duration of the user's session. 4) All of the SPARCompiler, SPARCworks, SPARCworks Professional products that include a CD-ROM provide Answerbook online documentation. For instance, the SPARCompiler C RTU product includes a CD-ROM, which includes all documentation online. 5) Support cost assumes existing SunOS support contract in place. 6) Software Support Price for the multipacks are for the entire product, not for each Floating License. 7) Upgrade prices are applicable only for customers without a support contract. A current support contract includes upgrades. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Existing Prices --------------- The following lists the existing products on SunOS 4.1.X.
