IRIX and Software

Catalog of free and commercial IRIX software.

Hi all.

I just created a wiki topic Catalog of Free and Commercially supported IRIX software

This list is extremely short.

There are things that I have used but have left out.. When I was working on a military flight simulator on IRIX, there was some ADA code that I was using as a reference for one of the avionics buses was built with a 3rd party Ada compiler on IRIX whose name I completely forget. Doing a low level block by block read of a deleted file system on one of the machines I got had evidence of a French (Aerospace ?) CAD/CAE system whose name I forget.

We are abiding by the forum rules, just listing the software known to run on IRIX.
Piracy, etc to be done at (legally) arms length away from nekochan.

So what software exists for IRIX that can be added to that topic...??
Edit the wiki topic or respond here.

I think I wrote something very small and demi-useful once upon a time.

viewtopic.php?t=13833

When I get another IRIX box, hopefully sometime soon-ish, I might try my hand at a few more 'applets'.

Probably CATIA ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CATIA ), originally from Dassault (a French company). I think it ran on IRIX in version 5.x.

Pro/Engineer (from PTC) ran on IRIX up to and including the version known as "Wildfire 2.0" (circa 2004). See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pro/Engineer#Release_history for a timeline and http://www.ptc.com/WCMS/files/71140/en/proewf2.pdf for the official support info.

I don't know when IRIX support started for either of those applications. Those are (AFAIK) the versions after which it was dropped.

Thanks. I added an entry for both of these.

I think you may have been right about it be it CATIA, but my memory is too hazy to be sure, but it was running on 6.5.xx hardware so either upwards compatible from IRIX 5.x or there was a newer version, that ran on 6.5.xx.

Pete has let me be admin, so its kinda my duty.
... after two weeks a few hours each day cleaning up red-links I get kinda grumpy when people introduce new ones.

Still could get a lot more structured, smj has fixed a lot of that though.

There are screen shot shots of several of IRIX apps in the gallery - perhaps a few you don't already have (and you could link the SS to the entry if you think it's appropriate).

Be sure to look in ajerimez's gallery - it's an especially nice resource for application screen shots.

But that's the whole point of a wiki - if you see a red link you know you can write an article. Because it is red it doesn't mean it is bad (maybe the CSS should be changed to make green links ;) ). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Red_link

Because a lot of the wiki had been copied from wikipedia and LinuxMIPS wiki... there were a ton of red links to articles that are completely unrelated to SGI... and that is what the wiki is about SGI. Articles that define things like camera, research, or abstract terms are great in a all defining reference like wikipedia but the sea of red made me see red. ;)

Go back through the history of the wiki... You will find that for two weeks, years ago, I spent about 2 or 3 hours a day at least, putting every article in a category and every category in a category and generally every article had a path to it, there was probably hundreds of edits for that... Then for another 2 week period I went through again several hours each day and took red links out of articles, or created new articles.. at one point I made about 10 new articles a minute clicking red links..There was again probably hundreds of edits. I really think I don't need a lecture from you. :roll: :|

I was talking about my edits which never introduced non SGI red links.

It turns out that when reset, the WD33C93 defaults to a SCSI ID of 0, and it was simpler to leave it that way... -- Dave Olson, in comp.sys.sgi

Sorry, when I said "version 5.x" I meant of CATIA, not IRIX! My previous post was very poorly worded! :oops: Oops!

I think I had IRIX 5.3 on the Indy on my mind. My mistake.
