Thirty independent software vendors committed to support Motorola’s 88000 RISC processor last week in a new initiative from the 88open Consortium Ltd. The consortium’s new Software Initiative Organisation will also be responsible for certifying that software is compatible with the 88000’s Binary Compatibility Standard, based on Unix System V.3 at present, but also set to be compatible with Unix System V.4 when it is released later this year or in early 1990. Initial backers of the organisation include Frame Technology, Informix Corp, Insignia Solutions, Phoenix Technologies, and Fortran compiler developer Absoft.
