Allegro: SPLash!/UX

SPLash!/UX
The Native Mode SPL Compiler for the HP 9000 (HP-UX)

If you are contemplating porting an application from an HP 3000 (running MPE) to an HP 9000 (running HP-UX), SPLash!/UX may be the solution for migrating your current SPL/V or SPLash!/iX language code.

The SPLash!/UX Native Mode SPL Compiler runs natively on HP-UX, supporting the same language as SPLash!/iX on MPE/iX. Using SPLash!/UX, you drastically reduce the time required to port SPL or SPLash! code to HP-UX, compared to re-writing your code in another language, and without introducing new bugs or making a large investment in programming time. You can then use that time in other, more productive ways -- such as making plans for the next generation of your application, written expressly for the new environment.

The SPLash! Approach to Native Mode

If you are interested in the technical architecture of SPLash!, this link, splash_tech, will be of interest.

In the design and implementation of SPLash!, every attempt has been made to maintain full compatibility with the existing SPL language.

In general, all statements in the SPL language as documented in the SPL reference Manual (HP part number 32100-90000) and the SPL Pocket Guide (HP part number 32100-90001) are supported by the SPLash! compiler.
