In October 2013 I was asked if I could get the 3L C compiler, linker and afserver tools to run with the transputer emulator. Now available on this webpage is a combined 3L afserver / transputer emulator, called jafserver.
More recently, in October 2024 I made further updates to jafserver consisting of some additional features, bug fixes and updating the Transputer engine (to align with the latest jserver emulator). This was jafserver release version 0.6.
In November 2024 I made a quick update to jafserver to fix minor bug spotted during field testing. This was jafserver release version 0.7.
If you want to have a play with the jafserver emulator and the 3L C V2.2.4 development tools you don’t actually need much set up in advance. Below is a brief overview of the software you will need to setup on your PC:
1. Install 3L C V2.2.4 software tools:
The 3L C V2.2.4 development tools are available here: Floppy Disk Installation Images . Download the file "3L C V2.2.4 (Original Floppy Disk Installation Image).zip" and unzip. Put the extracted TC2V2 folder (excluding the readme file) into the root of the C: drive (i.e. the 3L C development tools should be in directory C:\TC2V2 ).
2. Install the jafserver tools:
This is done simply by downloading “3L C jafserver tools.zip” from this webpage (see attachments below). Once downloaded, put contents into the C:\TC2V2 directory (and make sure to set PATH variable to include C:\TC2V2 ).
3. Running:
Hopefully the tools should work and allow the simple hello.c example (see attachments below) to be compiled, linked and run. Have fun. Please email me (see my home page) if you find any problems. An example screen snapshot of the jafserver banner is shown below.
