Text Editors
The operating system provides two main editors:
• Text Editor —A window-based text editor that runs in the OpenWindows
environment. Start this tool by typing textedit at the system prompt.
• vi —The standard visual display editor that offers the capabilities of both a
line and a screen editor. It also provides several commands for editing
programs. For example:
• The autoindent option provides white space at the beginning of a line.
• The showmatch option shows matching parentheses.
Debuggers
SunSoft offers a variety of programming tools that run in the Solaris operating
environment. For debugging, the following tools are available:
•
dbx —A symbolic debugger
•
debugger —A window- and mouse-based version of the symbolic debugger
You can use Pascal with fix-and-continue, a debugger functionality. See the
debugger documentation for details of this feature.
XView Toolkit
The XView application programmer’s interface (API) is an object-oriented and
server-based user-interface toolkit for the X Window System Version 11 (X11).
It is designed for manipulating XView windows and other XView objects.
Chapter 10, “The XView Toolkit,” describes how to use XView with Pascal.
Native Language Support
Sun supports the development of applications in languages other than English.
These languages include most European languages and Japanese. As a result,
you can easily switch your application from one native language to another.
This feature is known as internationalization.
