NEW OS/2 DEVELOPMENT TOOL: LXOPT V1.1
14 August 1995
Functional Software announces V1.1 of the code optimiser
for 32-bit OS/2 executables and dynamic link libraries.
LXOPT (Linear eXecutable OPTimiser) is a unique OS/2 development tool,
a code optimiser which improves the layout of 32 bit OS/2 applications
by direct manipulation of EXE and DLL files. Processor instruction
sequences are reorganised to minimise page faults and ensure maximum
CPU cache efficiency.
LXOPT V1.1 introduces:
* Improved arrangement algorithms
* CPU optimisations
* OS/2 WARP compressed page (exepack:2) support
* Support for CSet++ V2.x C++ template users
* Improved support for Borland and Watcom C++ users
* Recording file size reductions of > 80%.
In addition LXOPT is now supplied with program utilities to time
application execution, simulate low memory conditions, compress V2.x
executables to WARP (exepack:2) format and decompress exepack:2
executables for use with OS/2 V2.x.
LXOPT V1.1 has a RRP of USD 195, additional users may be added to an
existing license for USD 95. There are no restrictions or royalties
on the distribution of LXOPT V1.1 processed applications. Registered
users receive free maintenance releases and priority technical support.
A demonstration version of LXOPT V1.1 is available as LXOPT111.ZIP on
Compuserve (OS2DF1-Development Tools). This file is also being
distributed to various ftp sites and is now in the incoming directories
on ftp.cdrom.com and hobbes.nmsu.edu. The demo will be added to other
sites during the next few days.
