OS-9's use of position-independent, reentrant code modules allow the kernel to dynamically load application and/or system modules at run-time. This capability enables system designers to add or update software modules across the network during development or in the field.</p> <h3>SoftStax Communications Framework</h3> <p>Microware's SoftStax networking solution builds on the OS-9 I/O framework to provide a high-performance communications subsystem that supports a wide variety of standard and custom networking protocols.Applications written to SoftStax can run over any supported protocol and are network independent.</p> <h3>MAUI Embedded Multimedia Support</h3> <p>Microware's MAUI graphics solution provides a rich set of text, drawing and animation services with windowing, clipping, and inking service to support the graphical interface.The small and fast graphics subsystem takes advantage of the real-time design features of OS-9.</p> <h3>Serial/Parallel I/O</h3> <p>The Sequential Character File Manager (SCF) I/O subsystem handles basic character oriented I/O devices, such as serial ports, parallel ports and modems. It also functions as the input path for a variety of MAUI devices, such as keypads, mice and touchscreens.</p> <h3>Storage I/O</h3> <p>The Random Block File Manager (RBF) I/O subsystem implements a hierarchical, UNIX-like file system for data storage.Enhanced OS-9 for SuperH includes a RAM disk device driver for OEMs whose devices require temporary storage during operation.</p> <h3>Hawk Integrated Development Environment (IDE)</h3> <p>Microware's Hawk IDE is designed to increase the efficiency of development under OS-9.Hawk's highly integrated tool set simplifies and automates the tasks of creating, debugging, analyzing and managing complex real-time software development projects.</p> <h3>OS-9 Configuration Wizard</h3> <p>The OS-9 configuration wizard provides a graphical user interface which simplifies the sometimes complex task of configuring and building system images.Simply point and click for networking, TCP/IP configuration, graphics, or debugging and the wizard automatically creates a software image for your target..</p> <h2>Product Contents</h2> <p>The following software components are integrated on the Enhanced OS-9 for SuperH CD-ROM: <ul TYPE="DISC">
