Sun SPARCstation/Solaris 7 and 8
SPECTRUM supports the Solaris 7 and 8 operating systems running on at
least an UltraSPARC I at 167MHz.
SPECTRUM will install and run on Solaris 7 with CDE 1.3.
SPECTRUM will install and run on Solaris 8 with CDE 1.4.
SPECTRUM is compiled with C++ version 5.0 to run on Solaris 7 and
Solaris 8, plus C++ patch.
For the optimum performance, Aprisma recommends running
SPECTRUM with multiple Ultra Wide SCSI drives or Enhanced IDE (EIDE)
drives using RAID disk striping technologies.
Aprisma also recommends a video subsystem capable of 65k colors at
1280 x 1024 resolution and a 20” (or larger) monitor.
Aprisma recommends that you install the “Entire Distribution plus OEM
System Support” if this option exists on your Solaris Distribution. This
option adds approximately 8MB to the install size.
Additional Requirements
1 Check with your system vendor to ensure your CD-ROM system is
compatible with your hardware configuration. (Aprisma currently
uses Toshiba TXM-3301 Epsilon 1 double-spee CD-ROM drives.) You
may also use the CD-ROM that is bundled with your Sun workstation.
2 Under CDE’s Window Style Manager, be sure to check the “Allow
Primary Windows On Top” check box in order to permit pop-up dialog
boxes to appear on top of a SpectroGRAPH view.
3 Under CDE’s Window Style Manager, be sure to deselect the “Raise
Window When Made Active” check box in order to easily dismiss the
first displayed dialog box out of multiple dialog boxes.
4 Under CDE’s Color Style Manager, be sure to choose “More Colors for
Applications” in order to permit SPECTRUM to display in all its colors.
