Unisoft Ltd claims to have the answer to Unix Software Laboratries Inc’s golden master binary Unix for Motorola 68030 and 68040 with its new BPK binary implementation kit. The Unisoft product will enable OEM customers to do their own implementations of Unix System V.4, and consists of a binary distribution of Unix V/68 Release 4 and utilities with efficient reconfiguration capabilites. Unisoft claims the product, which has a starting price of $65,000, allows for the easy adaption of Unix V.4 to the most likely hardware designs. Unisoft is considering similar products for MIPS Computer Systems Inc and Sparc processors. UniSoft, based in London, has also been quietly re-focusing its business over the last year or so and reckons that around two-thirds of its expected $10m year-end turnover to June 30 will come from consultancy services and the customisation of Unix applications for corporate users. It has just signed to do a review of computer security for British Aerospace Plc’s Rover Group in the UK.
