Allegro Consultants, Inc, in association with DIS International, is now offering annual support contracts covering the GNU Compiler Collection and related tools, including the GCC C and C++ compilers for MPE/iX.

The free GCC C and C++ compilers have been available on MPE/iX for several years now, and are used for mission-critical applications by many organizations including Hewlett-Packard. Until now, assistance was available only from Mark Klein of DIS on a limited, voluntary basis. Mark is the person who originally ported GCC to the HP e3000, and he continues to maintain the software and port new versions.

Because of the increasing popularity of the GCC compilers on MPE/iX, the number of calls Mark gets every day regarding GCC has increased to the point that he can no longer afford to spend the time which would be required to help each user who calls him.

This new association between Allegro and DIS will allow Mark to continue to do something which he enjoys (working with GCC) and will provide an official support channel for GCC on MPE/iX, with specific features which will address the need of many customers for a source of support that they can turn to for GCC support issues similar to the services HP provides for their compilers.

Allegro has many years of experience both in providing support for MPE/iX and with compilers for PA-RISC architecture computers (such as Splash! Native Mode SPL compiler).

Support contracts start at $1,995.00/year for an organization (unlimited number of HP e3000 computer systems) with two designated callers. Additional options are available for large organizations who need to designate more than two authorized callers, or who want the additional security of 24x7 coverage.

Besides funding the support organization, a portion of revenues will be used to make further improvements to the GCC suite on MPE/iX and to port and integrate new GCC languages and features as they become available.
