SoftWay Systems Inc has enhanced its OpenNT commands and utilities suite that brings Unix commands and utilities and Posix.2 compliance to Windows NT, by adding support for the Unix KornShell and Posix command shells, several other Unix utilities and new documentation. OpenNT is priced at $200 for a single-processor license. The San Francisco, California-based company is also now offering its promised $100 software development kit for developing and converting Unix applications for Windows NT. In the meantime, OpenNT TelNet Server 1.0 enables multiple users to log on into an NT system and access OpenNT Posix/Unix shells or the Windows NT command shell. It is priced from $100. SoftWay Systems is supposed to make NT fully compatible with X /Open Co Ltd’s XPG4 brand by mid-1997, making NT Unix 95 brandable. The Intel Corp-based OpenNT is also now up on Digital Equipment Corp Alpha machines running NT. SoftWay Systems is building the Open NT suite under a longstanding agreement with Microsoft Corp.
