3494.0. "Looking for Alpha porting/migration center in US" by MSDOA::HICKST () Mon Nov 07 1994 13:21

    Does anyone know where I can locate and/or find a contact for a US
    Alpha porting or migration center?
    
    I've searched high and low, and although everyone says they've heard of
    the "porting/migration center program," no-one knows where they are.
    
    Any good info/pointers appreciated.

             Digital assisting independent software developers via Internet
    
             Digital sales, channels and marketing personnel now have access
       to information for the broad base of independent software developers
       via the Internet.
    
             Customized tools and services have been specifically designed
       to assist software partners in delivering their products on Alpha AXP
       platforms.
    
             Major services consist of the Alpha AXP Applications Catalog and
       the Alpha AXP Developer Support Program.  Both services use the dynamic
       "Mosaic" interface for the World-Wide Web.
    
             The Alpha AXP Applications Catalog contains information about
       partners developing and shipping applications on the Alpha AXP platform.
       Information includes partner location, contact information, software
       product descriptions and Alpha AXP operating systems supported.
       Currently the catalog is searchable for vendor, application, and OS,
       along with keywords.
    
             Online forms are available for vendors to become listed in the
       catalog as well as make updates and/or corrections.  Entries are
       updated weekly.
    
             The catalog is listed on Digital's External Home page:
       URL http://www.digital.com/info.html
    
             Alpha AXP developer support information is provided by Digital's
       Developer Support Program to help connect ISVs worldwide with the
       information they need to develop and support applications on Alpha AXP
       systems.  Users of the service are encouraged to join the program and
       receive other incremental services such as access to ISV Support
       Centers and on-line technical support.
    
             Applications to sign up for these programs are available on the
       Internet.  To initiate the process, partners can access the Developer
       Support Home Page directly at URL http://www.digital.com/www-swdev/
    
             Partners can also call 1-800-332-4786 and select the "Program
       Information" option.  Callers will receive details on membership.
    
             In addition, a variety of inquiry services and newsgroups,
       public domain software, and business and general product information
       is available.
    
             For more information, contact Joe Maciejowski, DTN 223-1489.

3494.7Binary translator -- DECmigrate for DEC OSF/1 AXPTALLIS::FREANTue Nov 22 1994 18:2611
Since you're dealing with migrating from MIPS Ultrix to DEC OSF/1 AXP, you
need to know about the DECmigrate binary translator, also called mx. mx
converts MIPS ULTRIX executables into equivalent executables that can
run on DEC OSF/1 AXP.  It's really quick and reliable way to move to
AXP. The translation is so good that Frame is actually selling a translated
version of Framemaker.

DECmigrate is a standard OSF layered product available on the layered
product CONDIST CD-ROM.
