The jserver.exe (see 'Emulator Files' attachment) is used to execute a transputer .btl file compiled for a single T414/T400/T425/T800/T805 transputer using link 0 (with standard iserver protocol channels fs and ts).
To execute the example, open a command console and type jserver /sb hello.btl (return) and the hello message should be displayed. Note: For the example hello.btl (see 'Emulator Files' attachments).
If you want to have a play with the jserver emulator and the Inmos Occam toolset (d7205) software 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 Windows PC:
1. Install Inmos Occam toolset (d7205) software tools:
The Inmos Occam toolset (d7205) development tools are available here: Floppy Disk Installation Images . Download the file "d7205a (Original Floppy Disk Installation Image).zip" and unzip. Put the extracted D7205 folder (excluding the readme file) into the root of the C: drive (i.e. the Inmos Occam toolset should be in directory C:\D7205 ).
2. Install the jserver tool:
This is done simply by downloading “Emulator Files.zip” from this webpage (see attachments below). Once downloaded, unzip and put contents into the C:\D7205 sub-directories as defined in the following steps [a - d]:
a. Copy the file jserver.exe into the directory C:\D7205\iserver\
b. Copy the following six .dll files into the C:\D7205\iserver\ directory: iconv.dll, intl.dll, lcm.dll, libglib-2.0-0.dll, libgthread-2.0-0.dll and msvcr100.dll.
c. Copy the following .exe files into the C:\D7205\itools\ directory: icollect.exe, ilink.exe, ilist.exe, isim.exe, imakef.exe, oc.exe, ilibr.exe and occonf.exe.
d. Copy the Microsoft make utility file (called nmake.exe) into the directory C:\D7205\iserver\
Finally, setup the path and environment variables on the Windows PC as follows:
Set PATH to include C:\D7205\itools;C:\D7205\iserver
Set ISEARCH=C:\D7205\LIBS\
Set IBOARDSIZE=#200000
Set FILES=20
Set ITERM=C:\D7205\ITERMS\PCBANSI.ITM
The last set (ITERM) is used by isim. To run isim type isim hello.btl | iansi (return) (To obtain the IANSI tool refer transputer.net on the Links page)
3. Running:
The installation is now complete. Type jserver (return) and the jserver should run and display the standard banner. Type oc (return) and the Occam compiler should run...amazing - not a single transputer in sight!
To execute the example, open a command console and type jserver /sb hello.btl (return) and the hello message should be displayed. For the hello.btl file (see 'Emulator Files' attachment).
To test the Inmos Occam toolset, the source hello.occ file can be recompiled by executing the mk.bat batch file, then build.bat batch file and finally the run.bat batch file (see 'Emulator Files' attachment).
Notes: The above .exe files ONLY work if the Inmos Occam toolset is installed in directory C:\D7205\ (i.e. with server in C:\D7205\iserver\ and itools in C:\D7205\itools\ ).
JServer.exe - Where is it?
The executable is found at the bottom of this page in the 'Emulator Files' attachment. Extract and have fun!
