EDX UTILITY PROGRAMS OVERVIEW
In the 1980s Legler Systems Company designed, developed and marketed two
utility programs specifically for the IBM Series/1 mini-computer to improve
programmer productivity using the Event Driven Language (EDL).
IBM Series/1 Software:
The EDXREF and EDXDMP utility programs are useful in maintaining
existing code and debugging EDL programs running under all versions of EDX
operating system. These utility programs have been installed at over 100
customers throughout the country.
Later, the EDXCPY and EDXPC utility programs were developed to print the
content of disk or tape records and to download text files to a pc connected
to the Series/1 mini-computer via the asynchronous communication feature
2091/2092 or Feature-Programmable Multiline feature 2095/2096.
These EDX utility programs are written in the EDL language for easy maintenance
and portability. Both executable and source code are provided.
IBM Series/1 Hardware:
During the product life cycle of the IBM Series/1 computer, over 100,000
computers were sold worldwide by IBM representatives and business partners.
We had one of those IBM Series/1 computers (model 4955-F) with 9-track tape
drive (4969), hard disk drives (4963), remote bi-sync and acca communication
support over dial-up and leased telephone lines to provide the following
computer services: (a) low cost batch, (b) remote computer processing and (c)
file and diskette conversion (EBCDIC to ASCII).
IBM Series/1 Programming:
Legler Systems provides custom EDL programming, software maintenance and
application development for the IBM Series/1 computer on a contract basis.
