There appears to be substantial differrence between the Windows
and Unix versions of the TASKING tool set.

Hello Bill,

Thank you for your inquiries. I have added the required pricing to your
quote.  I am attaching it for your review.

We use the FlexLM license manager for all our licenses..

The main difference between the Microsoft Windows version of the software
and the others is the EDE Integrated Environment. This provides with
Project
File Management, Easy configuration of compiler tools , easy configuration
of target startup, plug and play support for commercially available Eval
boards, powerful tools like 'Grep', 'file find', Version Control, and
Objects browser included.  It also provides you with Chroma-coded display
which eases identification of syntax errors, on-line manuals in Windows
help
format and Infineon DAvE2 project import.  So, if there is no specific
reason to go with another Operating System, I would go with the Microsoft
Windows version.

The fact that the JTAG cable has a parallel port on one end means that the
JTAG port on the target hardware conforms to the parallel port interface
standard.  Thus, you would need to use a parallel  port on the development
computer.also.  I don't know the expansion capabilities of your SUN boxes.
If you have them, you could probably find a parallel port interface card if
need be.

Unfortunately, we don't have double precision floating point libraries.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. It will be a
pleasure to be of  service.

Kind regards,
