Dynace (pronounced like ``dynasty'' without the ``t'') is a preprocessor, include files and a library which extends the C language with advanced object oriented capabilities, automatic garbage collection and multiple threads. Dynace is designed to solve many of the problems associated with C++ while being easier to learn and containing more flexable object oriented facilities. Dynace is able to add facilities previously only available in languages such as Smalltalk and CLOS without all the overhead normally associated with those environments.

SEDIT is a powerful UNIX (tm) text editor patterned after IBM's XEDIT editor. It operates with a GUI under X windows or in character mode from a tty device. S/REXX is a full UNIX implementation of IBM's SAA procedural language except that the numeric digit specification is limited to 15 digits. S/REXX functions as an imbedded macro langauge for SEDIT as well as providing a powerful modern programming language alternative to shell scripting languages. SEDIT and S/REXX may be purchased in a bundle or individually. See http://www.sedit.com for more information including introductory pricing for Linux, etc. For additional information, please contact one of the local distributors listed on the web site or mail us at sedit@dialup.FranceNet.fr
The Linux version is available for ftp download or on diskettes.
SEDIT and S/REXX are licensed products. See the above WWW site for details. For demo purposes, a short term license key will be provided on request to anyone who obtains the product via ftp.
We believe these products will work with any recent stable Linux kernel since 1.1.49. Motif is fully bound with SEDIT and SEDIT is distributed with XFree86 3.1 shared libraries for use if your system is not at that level.
Documentation is furnished in PostScript form, in extensive on-line help files, and in optional printed manuals.
Technical support is available for all licensed users. For maintenance, see the above URLs.
A REXX interactive graphical debugger is available as an optional feature as are printed manuals, physical media, and on going maintenance. See the above URLs.
The original Linux version has been available since 3rd quarter 1995.

Pricing information should be requested from the local distributor responsible for your country. An economical 2 user license is available for Linux without media or printed documentation with other options for more users, S/REXX, hardcopy manuals, etc.
