Power MachTen creates a full preemptive multitasking, multithreaded execution environment for UNIX applications. It shares the processor with MacOS, enabling standard Macintosh applications, including Virtual PC, to run simultaneously. Tenon has been shipping versions of UNIX for MacOS since 1991. Customers have used this unique software as a laptop UNIX on PowerBooks, as a UNIX software development tool to extend standard Macintosh development environments, as a vehicle to port UNIX and X applications to the Macintosh, and as a vehicle to integrate Macintosh desktops with enterprise-wide systems.

By licensing Tenon's UNIX libraries, developers have been able to bring sophisticated UNIX software to MacOS in the form of Macintosh applications. Because the underlying MachTen UNIX APIs are very similar to the core Rhapsody OS (Apple's next-generation operating system) APIs, developers, including Tenon, have used this environment to create Macintosh applications that run on MacOS today and later are easily ported to Rhapsody, by recompiling and extending the user interface.

Power MachTen 4.1 includes the latest Apache web server (version 1.2.5), with Tenon's supercache performance enhancements and Macintosh extensions. Power MachTen's Apache supports multihoming, using Tenon's built-in TCP stack or Open Transport 1.3, and caching proxy service. Tenon's Macintosh extensions to Apache enable it to support a wide selection of both Macintosh and UNIX plug-ins and CGIs. Also included is the latest sendmail 8.1 for multihoming mail, POP mail, BIND 8.1 for domain name service, and wu-ftp 2.4 for multihoming ftp service. MachTen is a multiuser system with remote login capabilities.

The new release supports a complete suite of GNU software develoment tools, including C & Objective-C (gcc), C++ (g++), Ada95 (gnat), Fortran77 (g77), and the gdb source debbugger. It also includes Java (kaffe), a suite of popular scripting tools (i.e., Perl, tcl/tk, MacPerl), popular editors (vi, emacs, BBEdit Lite, Alpha), and hundreds of standard UNIX applications and utilities.

The package includes a complete implementation of X11R6 with 24-bit color to enable the display of remote X applications, as well as the porting or developing of UNIX X client applications. An OpenGL option (sold separately) is pre-installed. Once customers purchase the unlocking script, they can display remote OpenGL X applications and develop OpenGL applications for MacOS or Rhapsody.

The native fast file system is implemented within a single Macintosh file. It provides a two to ten-fold performance improvement, depending upon what you are doing. Power MachTen runs with MacOS 7.x, 8.0, or 8.1 and is compatible with HFS and HFS+.

Power MachTen can be purchased directly from Tenon: /products/machten or as part of a G3 UNIX Workstation bundle from SciTech International /products/machten/g3/
