Installation of PERL on PowerPC failed. I have written a device driver mmudrvr and a utility program mmuconfig, which together allow the superuser to control this behaviour, so as to achieve the desired trade-off between security and speed. There is also a program mmuprobe which displays memory management registers and page table entries. Lynxdev is used mainly to compile and link application programs. Users can also build device drivers, kernels and netbootable images for an MVME1600 or MVME2600.
Netbooted machines can mount a remote root file system from lynxdev.
LynxOS development systems have included on-line manual pages, readable with the man command, for several years. The printed manuals of the LynxOS 2.5 documentation set are now available in PostScript format. They can be read at CERN with a Web browser. The PostScript manuals cover LynxOS and the GNU development tools. X, Motif, TotalView and TimeScan are excluded.
