Unix System Laboratories Europe recently released three new additions to its Open Distributed Computing range of software. CP.1 – Communications Platform Release 1 – is a Streams-based implementation of upper and middle layer OSI protocols. Its directory service will form the basis of an X500-compliant naming service. Enhancements to the Tuxedo on-line transaction processing package include System/D, a database management system that includes a report writer, SQL interface and tools to build and administrate an on-line transaction processing system. System V.4 ELS is the European language supplement to Unix V.4, which now covers most languages – national character sets, local language messages, and date and time conventions – including Icelandic, Turkish and Serbo-Croatian.
