AREAS OF EXPERTISE

Compilers and Interpreters:

We are currently engaged in the development of a Compiler, Interpreter and run-time environment for supporting ICL's Job Control Language SCL under the UNIX environment, under the SCL2C project. In this case existing SCL scripts are converted into Ansi-C which can then be compiled under any UNIX variant.

We have sound expertise on the use of lexical analysis tools, parsing tools, UNIX internals, RPC programming to execute similar projects for other environments. We are also actively looking at Windows NT as a prospective target environment and Java as the target language for its platform independence.

Intranet/Internet and Web-related Solutions:

We provide comprehensive services towards the installation and configuration of Linux-based Web Servers. We have been using Linux as our core Intranet Server and Development platform since 1995.

We have a full fledged setup on our own Intranet comprising of RedHat 5.2 Linux, Apache HTTP Server and a fully configured DNS server. This server can be accessed from any node on the LAN using Windows Socket / TCPIP software.

An experimental PPP account has been enabled on our server for system integrators to test TCP/IP suites, Browsers. Please send email if you wish to avail of this free facility.

The services we provide are as follows:

Installation of Linux/Windows-NT/Netware based Web Servers
Installation of Sybase, DB2, Oracle8i on Linux
Installation of PPP/SLIP/CSLIP
Development of HTML pages
Development of CGI-scripts
Seminars on configuring Web sites, creation of HTML pages.
