Abstract
Description, content and news from the service.
In SDT service (Sdt.Support@cern.ch
)
we actively help software projects in CERN
experiments to identify, evaluate, purchase and use industrial
software development tools. Network floating licences are used as
much as possible, so that the tools can be run remotely. We can
also, if you have an AFS account, give you access to our Solaris
server in case the binary for your platform is not available. You
can find the complete information on what we have and how to use it
at URL:

News of the year
From beginning of the year, the SDT service is part of the new
API group in IT (http://wwwinfo.cern.ch/api/
).
All the tools of SDT have been tested last year to be Y2K
compliant. Tools not compliant have been excluded from the list,
like Modsim (Intranet Solution).
Last news
Adobe is now providing a beta version of
FrameMaker for Linux which has been installed on our server
(http://sdt.cern.ch/FrameMaker/ProcLinux.html
).
As Linux is taking more and more interest at CERN, we will provide
the best effort for this platform.
Sniff version 3.2 has been installed.
Below is the complete list of our tools. For the latest
information watch our News page which is updated as things
happen:
