Mac Ivory Delivery User S Manual

MacIvory Delivery User’s Manual Overview of the MacIvory Delivery Software MacIvory Delivery software provides a framework in which to quickly deliver appli- cations with significantly reduced disk space requirements and marginally in- creased performance. The world size of MacIvory Delivery is less than half that re- quired for Development Genera. Paging file requirements are reduced by a lesser, application-dependent amount. You will find a slight performance improvement due to the decreased working set and fully linked software. See the section "Direct Calls: a Linking Feature for Ivory-based Machines", for further information. Naturally, the complete functionality of Genera cannot be provided with such a drastic reduction in world size. However, most applications will run under MacIvory Delivery with little or no modification. The exceptions are applications that reference systems such as Zmail that are not included in MacIvory Delivery, or that call undocumented internal functions. If your application requires any fea- tures missing from MacIvory Delivery, you may be interested in delivering your application in a Custom Delivery world. See the section "Customizing MacIvory De- livery Worlds". MacIvory Delivery is not suitable for application development or debugging. Unlike the Symbolics 3610AE, which includes all of Development Genera but with some portions disabled, MacIvory Delivery is tailored for delivery environments; it does not include many program-development systems or debugging databases necessary to develop and debug software. Any site doing software development work requires Development Genera. Note that it is a violation of the Symbolics software license agreement for anyone to run Development Genera without purchasing the Development Genera option. It is illegal to copy Development Genera or any portion thereof to any machine for which that option has not been purchased. Technical Description of the MacIvory Delivery Software MacIvory Delivery excludes many application-level and development-only features of Development Genera. Except where indicated, these features are not available in- dividually, and can only be purchased as part of the bundled Development Genera package.
