- | IBM to Release Warp Beta 2 | wb2
- +----------------------------+
-
- IBM announced on 9 August that its second beta release for the next
- version of OS/2, code-named Warp, will be available during the week of
- 15 August.
-
- The second beta release offers more productivity-enhancing features,
- plus a BonusPak with applications, in a fast, fun, easy-to-use
- environment. The first beta cycle tested performance enhancements and
- IBM's new PlayAtWill capability.
-
- Designed for business, mobile, and home PC users, Warp Beta 2 combines
- the maturity of the OS/2 32-bit operating environment with new features
- for mobility and quick productivity, such as simplified installation,
- reduced memory requirements, a floating tool bar, animated icons, and a
- more responsive user interface.
-
- The Warp Beta 2 comes with an applications BonusPak. The BonusPak
- includes a suite of productivity applications, including IBM's
- Person-to-Person real-time conferencing software, and integrated access
- to online services.
-
- IBM is making Warp Beta 2 widely available to users who order from IBM's
- 800 number or who download the software from CompuServe or the IBM OS/2
- bulletin-board system.
-
- "Warp is loaded with value and is a high performer on notebook PCs,
- which will broaden OS/2's market appeal to mobile corporate users, small
- businesses, and home offices," said Wally Casey, director of marketing,
- IBM Personal Software Products division. "With Warp, Windows users will
- be more productive, and current OS/2 users will love the speed and
- usability improvements."
-
- Customer-Driven Usability Enhancements
- --------------------------------------
-
- Warp Beta 2 features numerous usability enhancements, including:
-
- o Easy Installation. At set-up, users select "easy install", and OS/2
- automatically handles the complete installation, identifying the
- hardware and configuring it to meet specifications. Experienced users
- can select an advanced install that provides customization ability.
-
- o New Look-and-Feel. In Beta 2, the user interface, or OS/2 Workplace
- Shell, features new colorful animated 3-D icons. For example, an
- animated folder icon confirms visually the status of a folder. When a
- user opens a folder, the icon opens to show that it is active. Updated
- color and scheme palettes allow users to customize their desktops.
-
- o OS/2 LaunchPad. Incorporating the principles of a floating tool bar,
- "LaunchPad" provides users with single-click access to the
- applications, folders, printers, and other objects they use most.
-
- o Improved Usability. A new, graphical tutorial designed for new or
- advanced users makes it easier than ever to learn OS/2's capabilities.
- A new comet cursor was created for mobile users. It leaves a "comet"
- trail, making it easy to track cursor movement, particularly on LCD
- screens. More pointer sets allow for cursor enlargement, choice of
- styles, and color selection. Other significant improvements have been
- made in screen response time, command and window processing, and
- application load time already featured in Beta 1.
-
- o PlayAtWill: A new PCMCIA software utility, called PlayAtWill, provides
- provides plug-and-play capabilities today. The utility automatically
- identifies the types of PCMCIA cards installed -- including
- communications, modem, memory, hard disk, and I/O cards -- and
- provides a convenient graphical status on the desktop.
-
- BonusPak Applications
- ---------------------
-
- The Person-to-Person capabilities in the BonusPak include whiteboard
- data sharing, with multi-user annotation so that up to eight people can
- share images, text, graphics, and application window contents in real
- time, using different protocols.
-
- Windows Support
- ---------------
-
- The new OS/2 version supports Windows 3.1, Windows 3.11, and Windows for
- Workgroups 3.x base function on Intel 386 and later machines.
-
- Acquiring Warp Beta 2 in the USA
- --------------------------------
-
- The availability of this beta will be announced on the major electronic
- bulletin boards (America Online, CompuServe, Internet, OS2BBS, PRODIGY).
-
- The following instructions take effect at some time during the week of
- 15 August.
-
- Users in the USA who are interested in participating in the Warp Beta 2
- program can either call 1-800-251-2177 (8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern Time)
- for either a CD-ROM or diskette version for 14.95 USD plus tax. IBM is
- offering the diskette version at the same price to encourage beta users
- to verify the new compression scheme.
-
- Users can also download the beta code from CompuServe's IBM OS/2 FORUM
- Library (GO OS2BETA) and from the IBM OS/2 BBS (OS2PERF2).

- | SMART Analysis Program Sample Output and Explanation | apsoe
- +------------------------------------------------------+
-
- (article furnished by Dan Kardell, One Up Corporation)
-
- The Source Migration, Analysis, and Reporting Tool (SMART) assists
- developers in migrating their existing 16- or 32-bit Windows programs
- and 16-bit OS/2 programs to 32-bit OS/2.
-
- SMART consists of two main parts:
-
- (1) SMART Analysis, which takes developers' source code as input,
- analyzes that code, and produces a report that tells the developers
- how much and what kind of effort is required to complete the
- migration.
-
- (2) SMART Migration, which actually performs some of the migration.
-
- (Editor's note: A technical review of SMART, written by Dr. Michael
- Kogan, appears in the August 1994 issue of OS/2 Professional magazine.)
-
- This article is about the output of SMART Analysis.
-
- SMART Analysis Output
- ---------------------
-
- The SMART Analysis process creates a detailed report evaluating the
- effort for migrating Windows or 16-bit OS/2 source code to 32-bit OS/2.
-
- This report comes in two parts: (1) a detailed section covering each
- source file, and (2) a recap of the analysis, by categories, related to
- the difficulty of the migration, the type of keyword affected, and a
- list of each category of keywords.
-
- Figure 1 shows the SMART Analysis report for migrating a small sample
- Windows program written in C.

-
- Explanation of Report
- ---------------------
-
- The following information explains how to read the analysis report in
- Figure 1.
-
- File Detail (Page 1)
-
- o PATH/FILENAME
- If a new path is encountered in the list of files in the analysis,
- this path will be displayed in this column.
-
- o SIZE
- The size of the source file in bytes.
-
- o LINES
- The total number of lines of text in the source file, including lines
- skipped and comments.
-
- o CODE
- The number of lines of text in the source file, excluding blank lines
- and comments.
-
- o HITS
- The number of keyword occurrences that will require migration change.
-
- o PCT HITS
- The number of hits from the previous column as a percentage of the
- number of code lines.
-
- o INSTS
- The number of different keywords encountered in the hits.
-
- o PCT INSTS
- The number of instances from the previous column as a percentage of
- the number of code lines.
-
- o EFFORT
- A relative number indicating the effort to migrate the hits
- encountered in the source file. This effort value takes into
- consideration the category of the hits, the number of hits, and the
- number of different keyword instances. The higher the effort value,
- the more time is estimated to migrate the code.
-
- o CAT xxx
- The number of hits in each category. The categories are defined in an
- increasing level of difficulty, as explained in the Recap section of
- the analysis.
-
- Cat Description
-
- 000 Informational only - An exact match of the name exists on the
- target platform, but there is change in the size of type (e.g.,
- short to a long).
-
- 010 Literal replacement - An equivalent definition exists on the target
- platform, but a change in the name is required (e.g., LPSTR to
- PSZ).
-
- 020 Replacement with parameter changes - Equivalent functionality
- exists on the target platform, but parameters or fields of a
- structure differ slightly from the source platform definition
- (e.g., SetWindowPos to WinSetWindowPos). Also included are items
- that are not applicable or required on the target platform (e.g.,
- MakeProcInstance).
-
- 030 Change with more / fewer API calls - Equivalent functionality
- exists on the target platform, but it must be implemented with more
- or sometimes fewer function calls (e.g., DlgDirList). Also included
- are items that map to one of several choices, depending upon the
- type of parameter used (e.g., GetObject).
-
- 040 Logic changes required - Similar functionality exists on the target
- platform, but the logic required to emulate the functionality must
- be reworked (e.g., CreatePatternBrush).
-
- 050 Functionality does not exist - There is no means to perform the
- same functionality on the target platform (e.g., GetKeynameText).
-
- Recap (Page 2)
-
- This section is a recap of the categories, types, and areas, followed by
- each keyword that SMART encountered, flowed by the number of
- occurrences, and the effort involved. When analyzing a migration effort,
- we look at the Keyword section and the APIs that need to be ported. The
- items in the recap include:
-
- o ITEMS
- A descriptive name for the recap item displayed.
-
- o HITS
- The number of keyword occurrences that will require migration change.
-
- o PCT HITS
- The number of hits from the previous column as a percentage of the
- total number of hits.
-
- o INSTS
- The number of different keywords encountered in the hits.
-
- o PCT INSTS
- The number of instances from the previous column as a percentage of
- the total number of instances encountered.
-
- o EFFORT
- A relative number indicating the effort to migrate the recap item
- displayed. This effort value takes into consideration the category of
- the hits, the number of hits, and the number of different keyword
- instances. The higher the effort value, the more time is estimated to
- migrate the code.

-
- From the analysis of your code, you can see that the effort value
- computed to 30.7. This is a relatively low number, and can be equated to
- approximately 2 person-days. This estimate is based on the use of SMART.
- If you do not use SMART, then the effort factor could double in time,
- because you have no reference as to which APIs to change, and where they
- occur within your source code.
-
- The way you equate the effort factor to your development staff is to
- have your staff migrate several of the higher-effort modules. Then you
- can measure their effort to approximate the time required to complete
- the entire 30.7 effort. Remember that this is not an absolute number. As
- your migration staff continues through the project, their productivity
- should increase with new and better ways to migrate sections of code.
-
- If you choose to let SMART migrate your source code, category 010 will
- be automatically migrated by SMART. This migration will not result in
- a lower effort factor, because SMART's effort factor assumes that
- SMART will make your level 010 changes. In this example, migrating
- category 010 items results in 93 changes that are made for you.
-
- Your category 020s represent a fair amount of your migration effort.
- Category 020s are typically trivial to change, and do not require much
- effort. As for the number of occurrences of the APIs that appear as
- level 020, it is highly recommended that you make these changes once in
- your code, and use the existing API in your Windows code to call
- migrated code. For example, rather than changing the numerous
- occurrences of GlobalLock, change the API once, and isolate it in a
- function you call GlobalLock. Now, all of your GlobalLock APIs reference
- your new OS/2 API. We recommend this approach for more than 15
- occurrences when you migrate your code. Once you have completed the
- migration, you can choose to go back and change each one individually.
-
- Your 030s are APIs that require many-to-one or one-to-many changes.
- While these APIs take more time to change, the changes are not too
- difficult to make. An example of one of the changes would be:
-
- InvalidateRect
-
- In OS/2, you would replace this API with WinInvalidateRect to invalidate
- an area of a window. If the fErase flag is set to FALSE, then it is
- required for the application to track this state and to return FALSE
- when it processes the WM_ERASEBACKGROUND message.
-
- Windows:
- HWND hMenu = GetMenu (hWnd);
- OS/2:
- HWND hMenu = WinWindowFromID (hWnd, FID_MENU);
-
- Your category 040 APIs have an effort factor of 10.9. Category 040
- represents architecture changes that must be made to your Windows source
- base. An example of category 040 would be:
-
- LoadCursor
-
- In OS/2, you would replace this API with WinQuerySysPointer to get a
- handle to a system pointer, or WinLoadPointer to load a pointer from a
- module. System cursor identifiers will have to be mapped to OS/2.
- WinLoadPointer will create a new copy of the pointer each time the
- function is called. Windows returns the handle of an existing cursor if
- it has already been loaded. Code must be changed to load the pointers
- once during initialization and call WinDestroyPointer during
- termination.
-
- Windows:
- HCURSOR hCursorWait = LoadCursor (NULL, IDC_WAIT);
- HCURSOR hCursor1 = LoadCursor (hInst, 1);
- OS/2:
- HPOINTER hPtrWait = WinQuerySysPointer (HWND_DESKTOP, SPTR_WAIT,
- FALSE);
- HPOINTER hPtr1 = WinLoadPointer (HWND_DESKTOP, hMod, 1);
-
- Your category 050s represent functionality that does not readily exist
- in OS/2. It does not mean that it cannot be done, but it does indicate
- that you must design this functionality for OS/2. Some items in the 050
- are overcategorized. For example, we flag PAINTSTRUCTs as category
- 050; while most Windows programs use this for BeginPaint and EndPaint,
- this structure is an HPS in OS/2. However, some Windows programs use
- elements in the structure that must be obtained in other ways in OS/2.
-
- Another example of a category 050, which is not used in your source, is:
-
- GetProp
-
- There is no equivalent function in OS/2 to maintain a property list for
- a window. Window properties can be simulated programatically by
- maintaining a linked-list of items referenced by an application-defined
- window extra data pointer.
-
- Factors Affecting the Porting Process
- -------------------------------------
-
- The complexity of code, "cleanliness", and OS/2 2.x expertise, as well
- as the use of third-party libraries, all contribute to the difficulty of
- porting code.
-
- We use additional tools such as SourceLink, a hyper-link editor that
- allows you to use the report generated by SMART Analysis and Reporting
- Tool and gives you the ability to hot-key from API to API within the
- migrated source code with the click of a button. The PMViewer is a
- window into the migration dictionary that SMART uses to analyze and
- migrate your code. This tool is valuable for looking up the
- OS/2-equivalent APIs for window APIs when you do not place all of the
- migration information in your code.
-
- Small project estimates cannot be linearly transposed to larger ones.
- Although it may seem that you could migrate a few of the modules and
- look at a linear curve to determine the overall time and resources, it
- always turns out that larger projects take more time to coordinate to
- completion.
-
- A general benchmark to use when migrating Windows code to OS/2 is that
- an effort level of 1400 requires three experienced PM programmers and
- one PM/Windows programmer for four months, not including test and debug.
- Because of the experience level of your programmers, this factor could
- be adjusted by as much as 50 percent if you are attempting the migration
- yourself. We suggest that you attempt to port one of the modules that we
- have returned, and use that as a rough baseline for estimation of the
- project size and length if you were to complete the migration. As anyone
- begins to migrate, the measure of productivity versus the effort factor
- should decrease as the project nears completion.
-
- Additional programmers are not always a solution to decrease migration
- time.
-
- Evaluating the Porting Process
- ------------------------------
-
- General points to remember in evaluating the porting process are:
-
- o Resource files must be converted from Windows to OS/2 format. (SMART
- Toolset does this.)
-
- o Dialog units in Windows are calculated based on the font used in the
- dialog, while dialog units in OS/2 are calculated based on the default
- system proportional font.
-
- o Font names and selections must be converted to those available in
- OS/2.
-
- o Menus for dialogs must be defined at run-time and not in the resource
- file. (There are ways.)
-
- o Icons, cursors, and bitmaps must be converted to an OS/2 recognized
- format. (SMART Toolset does this.)
-
- o Multiple Document Interface (MDI) must be implemented in the
- application. (Workshops help.)
-
- o The frame window, frame control windows, and client windows are all
- separate windows in OS/2. Subclassing must be performed in OS/2 to
- monitor and process non-client window activity.
-
- o Windows brushes and pens must be converted to area and line bundle
- attributes. Different OS/2 functions are used for drawing filled and
- non-filled objects, as well as drawing a nominal width line versus a
- wide line.
-
- o APIs for drawing an arc, chord, pie, etc. require several function
- calls in OS/2.
-
- o The OS/2 coordinate system is lower-left origin, versus Windows'
- upper-left origin. All coordinate calculations for positioning windows
- and drawings must be converted to be relative to the lower-left
- corner. If window positions are to remain relative to the upper-left
- corner when a parent window is resized, code must be added to
- reposition child windows.
-
- o The CS_CLASSDC class style is not supported in OS/2.
-
- o Regions are bottom-right exclusive in Windows and top-right exclusive
- in OS/2.
-
- o The bits for monochrome bitmaps in OS/2 are reverse from those of
- Windows.
-
- o Windows metafiles must be converted to OS/2 metafiles. Metafile
- enumeration is not directly supported in OS/2.
-
- o Applications have less direct control over printing properties in
- OS/2. Applications should use the job properties dialog to allow users
- to modify the printing characteristics.
-
- o Support of tabstops in a listbox is not available in OS/2. Columns are
- supported in OS/2 by using the container class.
-
- o Cursors are not registered with a window class in OS/2. The setting of
- the pointer in OS/2 is performed during the WM_CONTROLPTR or
- WM_MOUSEMOVE message.
-
- o Background brushes are not registered with a window class in OS/2. A
- background fill color can be set by setting a presentation parameter
- for the window.
-
- o Control activity messages are received in a WM_CONTROL message instead
- of the WM_COMMAND message.
-
- o Processes must explicitly gain access to shared memory, and all
- processes having access to shared memory must free it before the
- memory is freed. This differs from Windows, where the shared memory is
- freed when the creator of the memory frees it.
-
- o Memory and window classes allocated and registered by a DLL are not
- available to other processes. In Windows, the ownership of window
- classes and memory objects is based on the code-segment that
- registered the class or allocated the memory. In OS/2, all resources,
- classes, and memory objects are owned by the process that allocated or
- registered them.
-
- o OLE is not supported in OS/2.
-
- o There is no Color or Print common dialog in OS/2. The options
- available for the font and file common dialog differ from those in
- Windows.
-
- Final Summary
- -------------
-
- As you can see, this project is a minor effort, and the SMART Toolset
- makes it even smaller still. On the basis of our past migration
- experiences, we estimate that it would take one OS/2-Windows programmer
- two days to migrate the code. You would then have to make the
- determination, based on the complexity of your module build, as to how
- long it would take you to test and debug. If you feel that you could
- further use our services in the purchase of SMART copies, or migration
- assistance through our workshop program, please let us know.
-
- The GA Version of SMART
- -----------------------
-
- The GA version of SMART includes Resource Translator, which will convert
- your Windows resources to an OS/2 format and take care of coordinate
- transformations. It also includes the PMViewer, so that you do not have
- to place all of the information about migration into your code. Instead,
- the information is just a hot-key away, and allows you to concentrate on
- your code that needs to be changed, rather than all the supportive
- information that SMART can place in your code.
-
- With the GA version, you also receive SourceLink, the program editor,
- with built-in functionality such as cross-reference, call-tree, unused
- function list, module definition list, and much more. The GA version
- also gives you access to our Tech Support Department, in case you have
- any difficulties with the use of the product.
-
- Outsourcing
- -----------
-
- One Up also provides outsourcing options if you so choose. If you wish
- to discuss this option, we will schedule a work session with your
- development team to assess the steps needed in setting up this effort.

- | IBM's Taligent Application Frameworks | eeptal
- | (ITAF) Early Experience Program |
- +---------------------------------------+
-
- IBM announces an Early Experience Program for the company's
- implementation of the Taligent Application Environment (TalAE). The
- Early Experience Program, which will begin in August and support OS/2,
- AS/400, and AIX, aims to encourage development of TalAE-exploitive
- tools and applications.
-
- TalAE Technology
- ----------------
-
- The ITAF Early Experience Program is designed to give a limited number
- of corporate and ISV developers the opportunity to develop an
- application or to enhance an existing application using IBM's TAF
- product. These developers will learn the TalAE programming model and
- will gain an understanding of framework-based development.
-
- As Early Experience participants, these developers will receive code,
- documentation, and training for support of the TalAE on IBM's operating
- systems.
-
- "The Early Experience program offers developers a great opportunity to
- get a head-start in the emerging marketplace for object-oriented
- applications," said Cliff Reeves, director of object technology, IBM
- Personal Software Products division. "With the TalAE technology, they
- can explore an exciting new development environment and start designing
- innovative new applications, as well as provide us with crucial user
- feedback."
-
- OS/2, AIX, OS/400 Support
- -------------------------
-
- IBM intends to support the Taligent Application Environment on OS/2,
- AIX, and selected components on OS/400, beginning in 1995. Users will
- also be able to access OS/400 data from within TalAE-exploitive
- applications developed in OS/2 or AIX.
-
- TalAE Overview
- --------------
-
- An open, portable application system for the enterprise desktop, TalAE
- will establish the basis for a new software development and deployment
- standard within the computer industry. Built with a rich, comprehensive
- set of object-oriented frameworks, it allows developers to program more
- efficiently by reusing both code and design. The scope of these
- frameworks spans the spectrum of functionality, including user
- interface, multimedia, networking, communications, and data access
- programs. Developers can use these frameworks as they are, or use them
- as the foundation from which they can create new frameworks to fit
- unique application needs.
-
- The TalAE is designed to run on 32-bit operating systems, including
- OS/2, AIX, HP-UX, PowerOpen, and future versions of System 7.
- Applications that adhere to the TalAE programming model will be
- source-compatible and easily deployed across these environments.
-
- Taligent provided IBM and its other investors, Apple and
- Hewlett Packard, with the Application Environment reference release in
- June, when it also introduced the Taligent PEEK (Partners Early
- Experience Kit) early support program.
-
- Taligent is an independent system software company owned by Apple
- Computer Inc., Hewlett-Packard Co., and IBM. Taligent, along with its
- investors, will license, market and support its software products
- worldwide.
-
- EEP Phases
- ----------
-
- The ITAF Early Experience Program consists of four phases. The current
- phase is Phase 2. Phase 3, during which more participants will be
- added, is scheduled for October/November 1994. Phase 4, scheduled for
- February/March 1995, is the official and final ITAF beta program,
- including the complete set of functions that will be in the generally
- available product.
-
- EEP Objectives
- --------------
-
- The objectives of the ITAF EEP are to:
-
- o Provide the participants with a toolkit for designing and implementing
- a project of their choice that exploits the features of the Taligent
- technology.
-
- o Provide the IBM development organization with early feedback about
- the product and associated services.
-
- o Produce referable applications to showcase at the general
- announcement.
-
- The EEP includes periodic review to ensure that the objectives of both
- the participants and the IBM developers are met.
-
- ITAF Functional Description (Phases 2 and 3)
- --------------------------------------------
-
- The ITAF product allows programmers to create applications in a fraction
- of the time that would be needed with current system libraries and
- tools. It contains an extensive set of object-oriented frameworks that
- the programmer customizes through the object-oriented technique of
- inheritance. A set of protability frameworks and classes are provided
- that can substantially isolate the programmer from platform differences.
-
- These frameworks can be used incrementally to enhance existing
- applications. For programmers creating new software, frameworks are
- provided for structuring that software as small, independent tools that
- automatically and seamlessly work together to allow users to manipulate
- their data, manage workflow, and collaborate as needed to accomplish
- many diverse tasks.
-
- The functions provided in Phase 2 of the EEP are described below as
- three categories of different frameworks.
-
- Independent Portability Frameworks
- ----------------------------------
-
- The first category of classes and frameworks provides operating system
- wrappers, imaging frameworks, time-based media frameworks,
- internationalized text frameworks, and utility frameworks.
-
- The operating system wrappers include classes for processes, threads,
- semaphores, timers, and shared and non-shared memory and files.
-
- The imaging frameworks provide low-level 2-D and 3-D graphic rendering,
- scalable and rotatable text rendering, print-stream generation, and
- easy-to-use, high-level structured graphics.
-
- Time-based media frameworks provide playing, recording, and controlling
- of sound and video.
-
- Internationalized text frameworks include classes for Unicode and other
- codesets, and frameworks for locale-specific date/time/number
- formatting, text sorting, and searching. Only a US English locale is
- supported in EEP Phase 2.
-
- Utility frameworks include template-based collections and streams.
- Collections include sets, arrays, run arrays, linked lists, sorted
- lists, queues, dequeues, and dictionaries. THe streaming framework
- supports writing out an object's state in a bytestream format that can
- be saved or transferred to another process. Subsequently, an identical
- object can be reconstructed from the bytestream.
-
- GUI Frameworks
- --------------
-
- The second category of frameworks provides a graphical user interface
- framework and user interface controls. Applications developed using
- these frameworks integrate seamlessly into the platform's desktop
- environment for window management and input event-handling.
-
- The graphical user interface framework provides both a top-level window
- framework and lightweight view hierarchies within top-level windows.
- Input event routing is handled between views and windows. A partial set
- of GUI controls are provided. These controls can be easily modified or
- extended using inheritance.
-
- These frameworks, unlike the frameworks described in the first category
- above, depend upon the use of other frameworks. Specifically, use of the
- graphical user interface and control frameworks in a program requires
- the program to also use the frameworks from the first category for the
- following functions: imaging, processes, threads, semaphores, timers,
- and memory.
-
- Taligent Programming Model
- --------------------------
-
- The third category of frameworks provides a new programming model for
- software. Rather than creating large applications, programmers create
- independent tools that plug into the frameworks. The frameworks ensure
- that these tools automatically and seamlessly integrate with each other
- to exchange data and to use each other's services. Tools encapuslate
- access and modification of data, and separately provide one or more user
- interfaces for presentation and interaction with this data.
-
- The major frameworks in this category are the document framework,
- presentation framework, and a set of generic tools for text and
- graphics. The document framework supports a hierarchy of embedded tools
- and high-level functions common to all tools, particularly support for
- tool hierarchies through embedding and unlimited undo/redo.
-
- Workplace Shell Integration
- ---------------------------
-
- In Phase 2 of the EEP, cut/copy/paste between Taligent applications will
- be supported. Minimal integration with the Workplace Shell is provided.
- A more seamless integration between Taligent applications, OS/2
- Presentation Manager applications, and the Workplace Shell will be
- provided in Phase 3, including drag/drop and exchange of common data
- formats.
-
- Benefits for Participants
- -------------------------
-
- Participants in the ITAF EEP will benefit from having:
-
- o Early access to the Taligent object-oriented technology, as offered in
- IBM's Taligent Application Environment product.
-
- o Early experience in object-oriented frameworks development.
-
- o An early start in developing applications that adhere to IBM's new
- object-oriented API roadmap, and that are Taligent-compatible.
-
- o (For ISVs) Possible product endorsement and/or early exposure if the
- ISV's application product is ready for availability at the same time
- as IBM's product.
-
- EEP Components
- --------------
-
- Participants in the ITAF EEP will receive:
-
- o ITAF code. Pre-release versions of the product code will be made
- available, in stages and with agreed-to refreshes, to participants.
-
- o Publications. Associated product documentation will be provided in
- stages in pre-release form.
-
- In addition, Addison-Wesley Publishing Company has announced the
- formation of Taligent Press, a new publishing imprint designed to
- support technology and products from Taligent, Inc. for the benefit of
- programmers, developers, and users. Taligent Press will begin by
- offering two distinct series of books. The first, series, The Taligent
- Reference Library, will be the official documentation for developers
- working in the Taligent Application Environment. The first title in that
- series, Taligent's Guide to Designing Programs: A Guide to Well-Mannered
- Object-Oriented Programming in C++, was published in April 1994. The
- second, an applied series of books on using and programming Taligent
- products and strategies, will see its first title, The Design of the
- Taligent Operating Environment, published in the fall of 1994.
-

- | Lotus Development Corp. Joins | cilotus
- | Component Integration Laboratories, Inc. |
- +------------------------------------------+
-
- Component Integration Laboratories, Inc. (CI Labs), a vendor-neutral
- industry association promoting component software technology, announces
- that Lotus Development Corporation has joined as a full member.
-
- "Beginning in the fall of 1993, leaders in the software industry,
- including Lotus, began discussing the need for an open, platform-neutral
- component software architecture," explained Andy Poupart, vice president
- of CI Labs. "The companies agreed to set specifications and share
- technologies. The result is OpenDoc. Now that the sponsors have
- completed the incorporation, CI Labs can accept general members, and
- we're happy to have Lotus be the first."
-
- Component Software Architecture
- -------------------------------
-
- CI Labs' OpenDoc component software architecture incorporates SOM,
- Bento, and other technologies to deliver a new level of computing power
- by providing users with greater functionality and by simplifying the
- process of sharing information on heterogeneous platforms.
-
- Lotus already supports CI Labs' Bento technology in its products. Bento
- is a fully replaceable, portable object storage library and format. It
- stores and exchanges all types of data, including compound documents and
- multimedia, and is being shipped in software products running on UNIX,
- Windows, and Macintosh platforms. Lotus was a major contributor to the
- development of the Bento technology, and uses Bento in its current
- versions of 1-2-3, Improv, and Lotus Notes VIP.
-
- Adopting Object Technologies
- ----------------------------
-
- "We are joining CI Labs to foster adoption of object technologies we
- currently use or plan to use in our products," said John Landry, chief
- technology officer of Lotus Development Corp. "We ship several products
- today with the OpenDoc Bento file format, a technology we developed in
- collaboration with Apple Computer Company and other organizations. We
- are pleased that Apple is licensing Bento to CI Labs so that it can be
- made available broadly. In addition, we are seriously evaluating SOM
- technology and will be evaluating other parts of OpenDoc as they
- develop. Lotus is committed to supporting 32-bit architectures and
- object-oriented frameworks that facilitate building compound documents
- and custom applications, and we support CI Labs and its efforts to
- license and evolve open, cross-platform technologies."
-
- CI Labs' sponsors Apple Computer, Inc., IBM Corporation, and
- WordPerfect, The Novell Applications Group, have all licensed major
- technologies to CI Labs, and have provided significant financial support
- to the organization. The sponsors are developing OpenDoc for Macintosh,
- OS/2, and Windows platforms, respectively. Lotus is the first company to
- join CI Labs at the "full member" level, a category designed for
- organizations interested in building upon the technologies and services
- provided by CI Labs.
-
- CI Labs Mission
- ---------------
-
- CI Labs adopts, maintains, licenses, and supports essential component
- software technologies. CI Labs will provide reference source code,
- technical documentation, example software, and validation services
- openly, without non-disclosure requirements.
-
- "CI Labs believes that no one company can deliver true, cross-platform,
- component software in a proprietary manner," Poupart explains. "CI Labs
- helps the industry to innovate, and encourages companies to compete
- based on added value, not on file formats and artificial barriers. We
- encourage any company that wants to participate in open development of
- object technology to join CI Labs."
-
- OpenDoc Facts
- -------------
-
- o More than 12,000 developers have received OpenDoc SDKUs, which are
- available on all three platforms: Macintosh, Windows, and OS/2.
-
- o Alpha versions of the OpenDoc SDK on all three platforms are publicly
- available without non disclosure agreements.
-
- o More than 3,000 developers have seen OpenDoc interoperate with and
- support OLE 2.0 at various developers' meetings, "Parts Kitchens" and
- conferences.
-
- o OpenDoc is fully extensible to mainframe and mid-range legacy systems.
-
- o OpenDoc's System Object Model (SOM) gives developers the ability to
- use various programming languages such as C, SmallTalk, and C++ to
- create objects that can work together on a single desktop, across a
- network, and throughout an enterprise.
-
- o OpenDoc's SOM is based on the industry standard for distributed object
- management, the Object Management Group (OMG) CORBA 1.1 specification.
- Microsoft's proprietary Component Object Model (COM) is not.
-
- o OpenDoc provides inheritance, which significantly reduces development
- time and dramatically improves software quality through re-use of
- known and tested objects.
-
- o Developers need less time and fewer development resources to develop
- to OpenDoc, while gaining complete OpenDoc functionality in addition
- to OLE container/server support. In comparison, developing for
- Microsoft's OLE is many times more complex.
-
- o More than 200 products supporting one or more of the OpenDoc
- technologies -- SOM, Bento and OSA -- are shipping today.
-
- o Because OpenDoc components are lightweight, componentized applications
- will require less memory, and users will be able to remove unnecessary
- components or plug in preferred components.

- Athena Design's special MScriptd functions to access Mesa's features and
- functionality.
-
- "OS/2 users know REXX, and they can build fantastic applications using
- it," says Athena Design, Inc. President David Pollak. "We simply
- leveraged the power and familiarity of REXX into Mesa 2. Our beta
- testers are psyched about it!"
-
- Sparking Interest in Object Orientation
- ---------------------------------------
-
- Beta testers are not the only ones who are "psyched" about the
- forthcoming product. Many people feel that the new software will spark
- more interest in OS/2's object-oriented technology:
-
- "The Mesa 2 spreadsheet component is noteworthy, because it is a
- high-utility, high-quality software component that can be exploited in
- a variety of applications. We are entering a new era in software
- development as innovative developers can focus their skills on
- high-value areas and profit quickly without having to build and market
- monolithic applications that have more features than most people
- need."
-
- - Cliff Reeves, director of object-enabling technology, IBM
- Personal Software Products Division
-
- "I am delighted to see the value that Athena Design is creating for
- their customers through the use of OS/2's native, object-oriented
- technology. Developing applications from object-oriented components
- will likely be the wave of the future for application development.
- Athena Design has caught that wave early, and their customers should
- be the beneficiaries."
-
- - Dave Harrington, director of software development programs, IBM
- Personal Software Products Division
-
- "Athena Design's Mesa 2 OpenDoc spreadsheet part is an excellent
- example of how quickly developers are adopting the OpenDoc philosophy
- of componentized applications and object-oriented environments."
-
- - Jed Harris, executive director of Component Integration
- Laboratories (CI Labs).

- | IBM Team Wins at Object World in San Francisco | objteam
- +------------------------------------------------+
-
- IBM's Swiss software-development team took first place in a competition
- at the recent Object World trade show in San Francisco, for its
- object-oriented (OO) solution in the field of public administration.
-
- The Swiss team received the Computerworld Application Award, an
- international award for OO software development. The award was
- sponsored by IDG (publisher of Computerworld and other trade
- publications) and Object Management Group, which fosters the development
- of OO technologies.
-
- The team won in the category "Best application utilizing reusable
- components leveraged from or for use in other projects". Their winning
- solution was a client/server application, running under IBM's OS/2,
- used to administer the commercial registers of companies. The source
- code was written in the OO programming language C++ and consisted of
- about 100,000 lines.
-
- IBM software developers kept close contact with their customers --
- regional public administrators -- during the whole production period.
- The solution achieved a high degree of reusability. Project leader
- Walter Ringger estimated that more than 50 percent of the object classes
- can be used again in future software development projects, an
- achievement that saves cost and time. Some of the existing objects
- already have been integrated into a software project for inland revenue
- departments in Switzerland.
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- (Editor's note: The following information was furnished by Walter
- Ringger, project leader, Internet userid chibm1j@ibmmail.com.)
-
- The Handelsregister application was developed by employees of IBM, CAP
- Volmac, customer employees, and employees of a Swiss software house over
- a period of two years.
-
- Together with our customers (Government Kanton Zug and Solothurn), IBM
- Switzerland developed a pure OO application for the administration of
- the Commercial Register, which is responsible for the publication of
- business data, such as capital, founding, liability, personnel involved,
- and restrictions, for all the different company types that have to be
- officially registered.
-
- Highlights of the application:
-
- o The application was developed in C++ using GUI_Master as Base-Class
- tree, especially for the graphical objects. GUI_Master is a product of
- CAP Volmac Utrecht (Netherlands).
-
- o The compiler used was IBM C Set/2.
-
- o About 500 classes were used for the whole application, including:
- - 128 GUI_Master classes
- - 150 technical classes (which were developed completely application-
- independent, to be reused in the next project, taxes)
- - 210 application classes, built in a hierarchy as follows:
- 8 H - application general classes
- 40 C - classes to use and manage generally defined codes in the
- application (DB-Code-Tables)
- 37 P - classes that manage information about people, such as
- name, surname, address, date of birth, birthplace, ...
- 63 G - classes that manage the business operations for the
- mutations of the register information
- 51 F - classes that manage the register information about the
- registered companies, such as names, addresses,
- capitalization, people involved and their
- authorizations, ...
- 8 E - classes that start up the application by invoking a logon
- procedure that verifies users' functional rights
-
- o 45 classes for a separate user-management application, which enables
- granting access rights to different functional levels in the
- application, depending on the status condition in the registered
- information.
-
- o Lines for technical classes (completely application-neutral), 150
- classes with about 25,000 lines of code (approximately 170 lines per
- class).
-
- o The real application portion has about 45,000 lines of code
- (approximately 220 lines of code per class).
-
- o The application uses a relational database with an SQL interface (the
- server can be any DRDA-compatible server).
-
- o The application was developed and runs under OS/2 Presentation
- Manager.
-
- o The application is uses CUA '91 standards. The user is guided through
- the application with notebooks and containers for the different kinds
- of lists.
-
- o The user enters normal business information by directly editing into
- the container. No detail dialogs are shown for the different
- information parts to be filled out.
-
- o Whenever information can be entered only from a known list of codes,
- the user is shown a selection container (Technical List Dialog), which
- presents all information possible to be entered for that field.
-
- o The whole application was built from scratch.

- | New OS/2 Development Tools: IBM's PL/I for OS/2 Family | plios2
- +--------------------------------------------------------+
-
- Introducing three new products for today's programmer!
-
- PL/I is well known as a powerful, proven language that was designed with
- the programmer in mind.
-
- Today's programmer is developing complex client/server applications.
- Today's programmer is expected to be more productive; to write more code
- in less time and to write better quality applications in the most cost
- effective environment.
-
- IBM introduces three new members of the PL/I Family that have been
- designed with today's programmer in mind: PL/I for OS/2 Professional
- Edition, PL/I for OS/2 Personal Edition, and the PL/I for OS/2 Toolkit.
-
- Get Client/Server Right with PL/I
- ---------------------------------
-
- If your company has a large inventory of PL/I applications, you are
- probably looking for a way to take advantage of new technologies, while
- leveraging the investments you have already made. Are you wondering if
- there's a way to reduce your mainframe overhead and program more
- productively, without compromising the power and flexibility that made
- PL/I an excellent investment over the years?
-
- PL/I for OS/2 Professional Edition and the PL/I for OS/2 Toolkit can
- relieve your mainframe by letting you move your applications to a
- powerful development environment on the PC. The PL/I for OS/2 products
- provide a visual PM front-end for developing VSAM, DB2, CICS, and IMS
- Client Server/2 applications.
-
- Continue to use your PL/I expertise while optimizing for the creation
- of database and transaction-driven applications that will execute on a
- mainframe, as client/server applications, or on a standalone PC.
-
- Benefit from OS/2 Ease of Use and Performance
- ---------------------------------------------
-
- OS/2 has many powerful features that makes it an attractive environment
- for PL/I development. Here are just a few:
-
- o Ease of use through an object-oriented iconic "drag and drop"
- interface, which makes OS/2 easy to learn and use
- o Performance that is predictable and consistent
- o True multithreading that lets you use multiple programs simultaneously
- o 32-bit addressability means you can tap the potential of today's
- advanced microprocessing technology
-
- With these features, OS/2 can raise your computing capability to a whole
- new level by allowing you to work quickly, easily, and intuitively.
-
- PL/I takes advantage of these innovative features in OS/2. The PL/I for
- OS/2 products include header files that let you develop OS/2
- Presentation Manager applications; a visual tool that generates PL/I
- code as you 'paint' Presentation Manager applications, and PL/I supports
- OS/2's multi-threading capability to further improve performance.
-
- Together, PL/I and OS/2 provide you with a powerful, reliable
- application development solution that increases your choices and
- multiplies your opportunity to get bigger and better benefits from
- your PL/I code and from your system.
-
- Access DB2
- ----------
-
- If you depend on data stored in a DB2 database across multiple
- platforms, you probably want to access it from your PL/I applications,
- whether they are running on MVS or OS/2.
-
- PL/I for OS/2 Professional Edition includes a preprocessor that supports
- DB2/2 and lets you imbed SQL statements in your PL/I programs. If you
- have a distributed database connected by DDCS/2, you can access data
- stored in other DB2 products, from PL/I applications on OS/2.
-
- You can now access DB2 data on multiple platforms from PL/I products on
- multiple platforms. PL/I's database solution lets you build new
- client/server applications, or extend the life of your existing
- mainframe PL/I applications.
-
- Develop CICS Applications in a Client/Server Environment
- --------------------------------------------------------
-
- CICS is the transaction management solution of choice for many
- businesses. If your company uses CICS for online transaction processing,
- you can take advantage of the client/server support provided by both
- CICS OS/2 and PL/I for OS/2 Professional Edition.
-
- PL/I for OS/2 Professional Edition includes a CICS preprocessor that
- lets you develop CICS applications on OS/2. CICS OS/2 and PL/I for OS/2
- Professional Edition provide powerful facilities for improving your
- productivity in the development and debugging of new applications. PL/I
- for OS/2 is a valuable tool for development of CICS applications for
- running on CICS/VSE and CICS/ESA systems.
-
- The transaction management solution provided by CICS OS/2 and PL/I for
- OS/2 Professional Edition lets you build new client/server applications,
- or extend the life of existing mainframe applications.
-
- Develop IMS Client Server/2 Applications
- ----------------------------------------
-
- If you have IMS data or transactions on a mainframe, you can now access
- them from applications written in a more productive environment.
-
- Using PL/I for OS/2 Professional Edition and IMS Client Server/2, you
- can develop client/server applications that call IMS data or invoke
- IMS transactions that are running on a mainframe. By combining these two
- products, you can access your mainframe IMS data and transactions from a
- more flexible environment, while preserving data integrity.
-
- Developing and maintaining applications that access mainframe IMS can be
- very easy with PL/I. You can develop graphics-based applications with
- PL/I for OS/2 Professional Edition. This simplifies the process by
- letting programmers paint an application, therefore automating the
- application development process. Did you have any idea IMS applications
- could be this easy to write?
-
- Tailor PL/I to Your Organization
- --------------------------------
-
- PL/I is a powerful language that affords programmers a lot of
- flexibility. You can, for example, alter the severity of compiler
- messages or suppress them completely. When debugging your program, you
- can get a listing of diagnostic messages that identify errors in the
- source program. Your program listing can also include an attribute and
- cross-reference table which tells you not only in which lines a variable
- is referenced, but also in which lines it is altered.
-
- Improve Your Productivity
- -------------------------
-
- PL/I for OS/2 provides a cost-effective visual desktop development and
- test environment. PL/I for OS/2 with WorkFrame/2, a GUI project manager,
- makes application development simpler and more straightforward. Using
- PL/I for OS/2 and Workframe/2 you can, for example, set compiler and
- other options, and link them to a specific program or project for
- repeated use. Using WorkFrame/2, you can also identify and locate error
- messages, and edit your source code without ever leaving your work
- session.
-
- Clean Up Your PL/I Applications with a Graphical Facility
- ---------------------------------------------------------
-
- With PL/I for OS/2's powerful GUI debug facility, you can set change,
- entry, or statement breakpoints. Other debugging features include the
- ability to trap conditions and monitor changes in variables during
- execution of your program.
-
- Benefit from New PL/I Language Features
- ---------------------------------------
-
- The following is a list of some new language enhancements in the PL/I
- for OS/2 products:
-
- o Strongly typed enumerations, typed structures and unions, and
- user-defined types make it easier for you to identify potential
- problems at compile time.
-
- o PL/I's various storage classes--including automatic, static,
- controlled, defined, and based--increase the flexibility of the
- language.
-
- o A choice of linkages and parameter-passing mechanisms lets you call C,
- C, C++, REXX, and Fortran applications from within your PL/I
- applications.
-
- o The new PACKAGE statement allows you to group related declarations and
- procedures that share name scope.
-
- o A state-of-the-art macro facility is now available in PL/I for OS/2.
-
- o With restricted expressions and named constants, you can create
- parameters in your source code so that when one item changes, all
- related items automatically adjust.
-
- Mainframe Compatibility
- -----------------------
-
- PL/I for OS/2 Professional Edition supports EBCDIC character data and
- hexadecimal float data It also provides SAA language level checking
- and other features that improve compatibility with mainframe PL/I.
-
- Choose the PL/I That's Right for You
- ------------------------------------
-
- PL/I for OS/2 comes in two varieties ... a Personal Edition and a
- Professional Edition. Both editions include a full 32-bit compiler,
- run-time, and graphical debugging facility.
-

-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- AIX. IBM's version(s) of UNIX, available on the PS/2, RISC System/6000
- and ES/9000 platforms. AIX on the RISC System/6000 is based on OSF/1
- and meets 1151 of the 1170 elements of SPEC1170.
-
- ANDF (AND-eff). Architecture Neutral Distribution Format. One of five
- technologies created by OSF. A set of tools which allows software
- developers to create a single version of an application for use on
- different types of computers and operating systems.
-
- API. Application Programming Interface. A well-defined means of using
- operating system or subsystem services.
-
- ATM. (1) Asynchronous Transfer Mode. A new, high-speed network transport
- technology, expected to become extremely popular in the 1990s. (2) Adobe
- Type Manager. (3) Automated Teller Machine. One of the first
- client/server applications.
-
- Bento. A technology for the storage and interchange of multimedia
- information. Bento is licensed by CI Labs.
-
- C++. An extension of AT&T's C language. C++ was developed in the early
- 1980s at AT&T's Bell Laboratories to support objects. The name is a
- programmer's play on words: In C, "++" adds one to a variable. C++,
- then, is the next step beyond C. C++ is generally viewed as more
- efficient than Smalltalk, but it does not enforce the object model.
-
- CAE. Common Application Environment. The formal standards adopted by
- X/Open, together with the X/Open specifications.
-
- CDE. Common Desktop Environment. CDE was defined by COSE, and is a
- consistent set of APIs for the desktop that will run across the systems
- of the COSE members. It is modelled on IBM's OS/2 Workplace Shell, and
- has been submitted to X/Open for planned adoption in 1994 in the UNIX
- environment.
-
- CI Labs. Component Integration Laboratories. Initially supported by
- Apple and IBM among others, CI Labs licenses four technologies,
- including OpenDoc, Bento, and SOM.
-
- Client. As in client/server computing, the application that makes
- requests of the server and, often, deals with the interaction necessary
- with the user.
-
- Client/Server. A model of computing in which two programs cooperate to
- do work. The program that initiates the work is the client, which makes
- requests on the second program, the server.
-
- CORBA (KOR-buh). Common Object Request Broker Architecture. A standard
- for objects proposed by the Object Management Group (OMG).
-
- COS. Corporation for Open Systems. A vendor-sponsored organization which
- intends to "deal with today's pressing network integration problems and
- solutions". Among the members of COS are AT&T, DEC, IBM, and the US
- Government.
-
- COSE (KOH-zee). Common Open Software Environment. An open-standards
- acceleration organization. Unusual in that it "met" entirely
- electronically. COSE was incorporated within OSF in March 1994.
-
- CPI-C (SEE-pik). Common Programming Interface for Communications.
- Originally part of IBM's Systems Application Architecture, CPI-C has
- been released by IBM into the public domain and has been adopted by
- X/Open. Together with RPC and MQI, CPI-C is one of the three means of
- communication supported in IBM's Open Blueprint.
-
- DAE. Distributed Application Environment. An IBM family of programs
- which offer client/server computing spanning IBM and non-IBM hardware
- and software.
-
- DCE. Distributed Computing Environment. One of five technologies created
- by OSF. DCE is a set of integrated protocols and APIs that simplifies
- building robust client/server applications on a network of unlike
- systems.
-
- Directory. In DCE, the directory contains information about resources,
- services, objects, and users on the network. This makes it simple to
- find each of these things by using only its name, and for each component
- to be moved in the network as business or technology dictate, without
- needing to change applications.
-
- DME. Distributed Management Environment. One of five technologies
- created by OSF. DME will allow different computer systems, linked by a
- network, to be managed from a single point.
-
- DRDA. Distributed Relational Database Architecture. IBM's architecture
- for allowing relational databases on a network to interconnect and share
- data.
-
- DSOM (DEE-som). Distributed Systems Object Method. A complete
- implementation of CORBA. DSOM works transparently with SOM.
-
- Encina (en-SEE-nuh). Enterprise Computing In a New Age. A set of
- transaction processing products, based on DCE, and supplied by Transarc
- Corporation. IBM has announced Encina as a product to be used with
- CICS/6000.
-
- EPHOS (EE-foss). European Procurement Handbook for Open Systems. EPHOS
- is used to guide public procurement of computer equipment within the
- European Community, and is followed on a voluntary basis by many in the
- private sector.
-
- GOSIP. Government OSI Profile for procurement. The UK and USA
- governments have their own version of OSI, called UK GOSIP and US GOSIP.
-
- GUI (GOO-ee). Graphical User Interface. A pictorial way of representing
- the capabilities of a system and the work being done on it.
-
- IEEE. Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers. The IEEE is
- responsible for defining many standards, including POSIX.
-
- Internet. A world-wide association of interconnected networks.
-
- IPX. Internet Packet Exchange.
-
- ISDN. Integrated Services Digital Network. A digital means of allowing
- voice and data to share a network.
-
- ISO. International Standards Organization.
-
- Kerberos. The security component of DCE, originally designed by the
- Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Named after the three-headed dog
- of Greek mythology which guarded the gates of Hades. Kerberos is
- included in IBM's Open Blueprint.
-
- LAN. Local Area Network. Typically, the interconnection of several
- personal computers and other hardware such as printers. Designed
- originally as a means of sharing hardware and software among PCs; now
- used as a general means of communications between PCs.
-
- Middleware. Software that lies between applications and the operating
- system, and that is designed to shield the application from the
- complexities of the underlying system, especially in open and
- client/server environments.
-
- Motif (moh-TEEF). One of the five technologies created by OSF. Motif is
- a GUI.
-
- MPTN. Multi Protocol Transport Networking. An IBM product that allows
- applications to run over dissimilar networks. Part of the Network
- Blueprint.
-
- MQI. Message Queue Interface. A high-level interface designed for use by
- application programmers who want to develop distributed business
- applications. MQI can run synchronously or asynchronously. It was
- developed by IBM, and is one of the three means of communication
- supported in IBM's Open Blueprint. MQI is implemented by IBM in its
- MQSeries products.
-
- Network Blueprint. A framework for connecting unlike networks and making
- them operate together.
-
- NFS. Network File System. A technology developed by SUN Microsystems
- Inc. NFS is a system for sharing directories across Internet Protocol
- (IP) networks. NFS uses RPC to become operating system-independent.
-
- NetBIOS (net-BY-oss) A de-facto standard network protocol for LANs.
-
- Object. A set of programs or subroutines, called methods, and data,
- called variables, that model something in the real world.

- OLE. Object Linking and Embedding. Microsoft's protocols for linking
- objects to create a compound document. Unlike OpenDoc, OLE is based on
- a proprietary standard.
-
- OMG. Object Management Group. An organization of vendors, software
- developers, and users, founded to promote the theory and practice of
- object management technology in the development of software.
-
- OpenDoc. One of four technologies to be licensed by CI Labs. OpenDoc is
- a "compound document architecture", which is a structured means of
- including and using text, graphics, pictures, and multimedia objects in
- a single document. OpenDoc uses IBM's SOM, and hence it is based on
- CORBA.
-
- Open Blueprint. A modular architecture that includes standards which
- enable customers to build applications that run on many IBM and non-IBM
- systems, and that connect and work seamlessly.
-
- Open System. An abbreviation of the IEEE definition is "A ... set of
- ... standards ... that ... accomplish interoperability and portability
- of applications, data and people." The ISO definition is similar. Many
- UNIX vendors define an open system as a UNIX system. Clearly, the
- problem is that the word "open" is a very powerful marketing term.
-
- OSF. Open Software Foundation. A not-for-profit organization that
- develops and delivers open technology to its members. There are several
- hundred members of OSF, including Apple, DEC, HP, Hitachi, IBM, ICL,
- Lotus, Microsoft, Motorola, Novell, and Xerox. OSF delivers five
- technologies: OSF/1, DCE, DME, Motif, and ANDF.
-
- OSF/1. One of five technologies created by OSF. OSF/1 is a UNIX
- operating system.
-
- OSI. Open Systems Interconnection. A layered communications model of a
- WAN developed by the ISO.
-
- Palladium. Print management technology developed at MIT with IBM,
- Digital, and Hewlett-Packard. This is a complete set of end-user
- functions to submit and control printing in an open distributed
- environment.
-
- PASC. Portable Applications Standards Committee. The new name for POSIX,
- based on the realization that it is more than UNIX.
-
- POSIX. Portable Operating System Interface. The `X' at the end denotes
- that POSIX is a `UNIX'-type specification. POSIX is a set of interfaces
- involved in applications portability and system interoperability and the
- services offered across these interfaces. It is described in a set of
- specifications (POSIX 1003.1, 1003.2., ...) that, when agreed, become an
- international standard; for example, ISO/IEC 9945-1 is the international
- standard corresponding to POSIX 1003.1. POSIX is defined by the IEEE.
-
- RPC. Remote Procedure Call. One of three means of communication defined
- in the Open Blueprint. Issuing an RPC is analogous to calling a
- subroutine, except that the subroutine may exist somewhere else within
- the network.
-
- Server. As in client/server computing, the application that is dedicated
- to performing work requested by a client. Servers specialize in one or
- more areas, such as printing, database, video, and so on.
-
- Smalltalk. An object-oriented language developed in the early 1970s by
- Xerox at its Palo Alto Research Center (PARC).
-
- SMTP. Simple Mail Transport Protocol. A widely used e-mail protocol
- developed by Internet. Extremely popular in the USA; less popular in
- Europe, where X.400 is preferred.
-
- SNMP. Simple Network Management Protocol. A network management protocol
- used in TCP/IP LANs.
-
- Sockets. A network API developed at the University of California in
- Berkeley for use with their version of UNIX. Sockets were designed to
- work primarily with Ethernet.
-
- SOM. Systems Object Model. A rich, language-neutral technology for
- building, packaging, and manipulating objects. It can be used easily by
- both object-oriented programming languages and procedural languages.
-
- SPEC1170. The 1,170 interfaces that will make up UNIX.
-
- SQL. Structured Query Language. A language designed by IBM for using
- relational databases. SQL has since become an ISO standard. Sometimes
- also called Standard Query Language.
-
- Taligent. A joint venture between IBM and Apple to develop
- object-oriented software and an object-oriented operating system. In
- 1994, Hewlett Packard joined Taligent.
-
- TCP/IP. Transmission Control Protocol/ Internet Protocol. A standard set
- of network protocols developed by the USA Department of Defense for the
- government ARPAnet. It has been accepted as the standard network
- protocol for UNIX Ethernet systems, and is simpler than the OSI model.
-
- UNIX. The operating system originally designed by AT&T and enhanced by
- the University of California at Berkeley and others. Since it was
- powerful and essentially available for free, it became very popular at
- universities. Many vendors made their own versions of UNIX available;
- for example, IBM's AIX, based on OSF/1. The UNIX trademark and
- definition have since come under the control of X/Open, who will issue a
- unifying specification.
-
- USL. UNIX Systems Laboratories. Established by AT&T to develop and
- license UNIX System V. USL was sold to Novell, and in 1993 it was
- integrated into Novell.
-
- Wabi (WAH-bee). Windows Application Binary Interface. A product written
- by Sun Microsystems to enable applications written for Microsoft's
- Windows to run unmodified on UNIX systems.
-
- WAN. Wide Area Network. A network that runs over large distances and
- typically connects several LANs.
-
- X.400. An e-mail protocol adopted by ISO. More sophisticated than SMTP,
- and more popular in Europe.
-
- X.500. A directory protocol adopted by ISO.
-
- X/Open. A standards acceleration body, founded in 1984 by Bull, ICL,
- Olivetti, Nixdorf and Siemens. IBM joined X/Open in 1988. X/Open does
- not normally define standards, but chooses from existing, de facto, and
- proposed standards. X/Open actively supports IEEE POSIX projects.
-
- X Windows. A network GUI.
-
- XPG. X/Open Portability Guide. A set of interface specifications issued
- by X/Open that define source code portability. The definition of XPG
- keeps expanding. XPG4, issued in 1992, has 22 components, up from 13 in
- XPG3, which include the POSIX 1003.1 and 1003.2 operating system
- specifications, relational database, X-Windows, and CPI-C. Products that
- meet the XPG specification are referred to as "XPG branded".

- | APPC Developer Assistance Program | dapappc
- +-----------------------------------+
-
- Are you a software vendor? Are you considering APPC for the
- communications portion of your next product? If so, help is here. At
- the APPC/APPN Technical Conference this July in Boston, APPC Market
- Enablement announced the APPC Developer Assistance Program (DAP). The
- APPC DAP is open to independent software vendors who are developing, or
- planning to develop, APPC or CPI-C applications.
-
- When you join the APPC DAP, you'll get technical, business, and
- marketing support for your APPC application developers.
-
- Two Goals
- ---------
-
- The APPC DAP has two objectives:
-
- o Assist software vendors in providing APPC support for new
- applications.
-
- If you're designing or building new client/server applications, you're
- probably considering including APPC support. The APPC DAP gives you a
- jump-start on APPC development, and brings immediate access to experts
- in APPC application development.
-
- o Provide continued support to software vendors who already have APPC
- support in their applications.
-
- Just because the code is finished, it doesn't mean the work is done.
- The APPC DAP gives help on APPC design and support questions, plus DAP
- members can receive assistance with configuration and documentation
- issues.
-
- If you're not a software vendor, don't feel left out. The APPC DAP's
- ultimate goal is to help application programmers. How? As more software
- vendors supply APPC support in their products, the job of client/server
- application development gets easier. And if you have a favorite tool or
- application that doesn't support APPC, tell that vendor about the APPC
- DAP.
-
- More Information
- ----------------

- | The Networking Software Market in Singapore | singnet
- +---------------------------------------------+
-
- This article, dated May 1994, was prepared by D. Richmond & Associates,
- American Embassy - Singapore.
-
- Overview
- --------
-
- Data suggest that the IT industry in Singapore is beginning to mature.
- According to the latest National Computer Board Singapore IT Industry
- Survey Report 1993, industry sales exceeded USD 1.8 billion in 1992.
- Growth of the industry was 14 percent in 1992, versus 23 percent in 1991
- and 45 percent in 1990. Computer hardware accounted for 72 percent of
- total sales and software for 12 percent in 1992.
-
- Total software sales in 1992 were USD 231 million. The bulk of software
- sales consisted of applications software, followed by systems and office
- automation software. In 1992, sales of applications software exceeded
- systems and automation software. However, sales of applications software
- have slowed in recent years, and real growth is projected at 13 percent
- per year for the next five years.
-
- The market for networking software in Singapore has also been expanding
- rapidly in recent years. Growth has been estimated at 30 percent per
- year for the past 3 years. Future expansion is expected to slow
- slightly, but growth is forecast to remain strong at 15-20 percent per
- year for the next five years.
-
- A number of factors lie behind the strong market situation. Among these
- are a high number of business establishments in Singapore that are
- already computerized and beginning to share data and computer resources
- using networks, the downsizing of current mainframe systems to
- lower-cost PCs on LANs, and an increasing need for critical business
- applications.
-
- The market for network operating and mainframe connectivity software is
- relatively saturated. The best sales prospects for new-to-market U.S.
- suppliers lie in the categories of management systems, office/business
- applications, office tools, and specialty communications software.
- Potential buyers are looking for products with unique features and
- functions.
-
- Nearly all of the networking software that is available in Singapore is
- imported. The United States is the dominant supplier, with a market
- share of at least 90 percent. This situation is unlikely to change in
- the foreseeable future. Local production and exports of networking
- software are minimal.
-
- The marketplace is extremely receptive to American software. The United
- States is viewed as a leader in networking software and technology. In
- addition, most U.S. software has the advantage of a large user base,
- which provides buyers with confidence in the product. The major problems
- which are encountered with U.S. networking software suppliers are a lack
- of marketing expertise and technical support.
-
- Key recommendations for new-to-market U.S. suppliers are:
-
- o Strong marketing and technical servicing efforts are needed to enter
- the market;
-
- o A suitable local partner should be found, with efforts focused on
- system integrators; and
-
- o Visits to the market and personal sales calls are the most effective
- means of locating a distributor and initiating sales.
-
- Receptivity Score
- -----------------
-
- Receptivity Score (1-5): 5
-
- A receptivity score of 1 means that the market is not receptive to U.S.
- products and services, while a score of 5 means that it is extremely
- receptive.
-
- Market Assessment
- -----------------
-
- The industry groups networking software into several categories.
- Although these categories may vary by company, general classifications
- include communications/connectivity, operating system, system
- management, office/business applications, and office tools networking
- software.
-
- The Singapore Government has experienced much success in promoting IT
- usage on the Island in recent years. A 1992 survey by the National
- Computer Board revealed that computer penetration in Singapore companies
- is extensive. Of all establishments employing ten or more employees, 84
- percent were computerized in 1992. This is compared with 68 percent in
- 1989.
-
- With such penetration, more computerized establishments are capable of
- networking within and across establishments. According to the NCB
- survey, 63 percent of the respondents were networked, leaving only 37
- percent that were not.
-
- Networking is occurring across all types of industries. Nevertheless,
- manufacturing, transport, finance, and the public sectors appear to be
- the industry segments that are most heavily involved in networking.
-
- There is good potential for sales of networking software to
- organizations of all sizes. Larger organizations, and particularly
- multinational companies, are more likely to be networked than smaller
- firms. Much of the potential for sales to larger organizations lies in
- purchases of upgraded networking software. Nevertheless, smaller
- companies are increasing their networking capabilities. These companies
- are more likely to be first-time purchasers of the products.
-
- Due to the small size of the population, the Singapore market for
- software is relatively small. Furthermore, sales of networking software
- are much less than that of general applications software. The market
- for networking software is estimated by trade sources at SD 30-35 (USD
- 19-23) million annually.
-
- Networking software sales have been expanding rapidly in the past three
- years, with annual growth rates estimated at 30-40 percent. Growth
- projections for the future are also optimistic, but somewhat lower than
- those of recent years. It is generally believed that the growth of
- sales of networking software has peaked. In addition, the market is
- becoming increasingly competitive and prices of operating software are
- expected to decline. Consequently, future expansion of the market is
- projected at 15-20 percent per annum in the next five years.
-
- There are several reasons for the continued, strong market situation.
-
- 1. A large number of Singapore companies already own PCs, and their next
- step is to share resources and data through networking.
-
- 2. A large number of companies are downsizing their current computer
- systems by replacing mainframe computers with the cheaper alternative
- of PCs on LANs.
-
- 3. Networking is a trend, supported by a strong marketing thrust by
- suppliers, encouragement by the Singapore Government, and more types
- of networking applications.
-
- 4. There is an increasing need for and interest in critical business
- applications and client/server type-environments. The tight labor
- situation and rising wage costs in Singapore are encouraging
- companies to improve their productivity through use of more
- sophisticated software.
-
- Best Sales Prospects
- --------------------
-
- Prospects for sales of various types of networking software differ by
- category. Best prospects for new-to-market U.S. suppliers appear to lie
- in the areas of systems management, office/business applications, and
- office tools software.
-
- The market for network operating software accounts for approximately 70
- percent of the total networking software market. This segment of the
- market is regarded by vendors as relatively well established, but will
- continue to account for the bulk of networking software sales in the
- foreseeable future. Annual growth projections for this segment range
- from 15 to 20 percent.
-
- The second largest category of software, particularly in value, is that
- of communications/connectivity software. Some vendors regard this
- segment as relatively mature, especially for mainframe connectivity
- software. Others see good sales prospects for U.S. suppliers,
- particularly in the area of specialty communications software.
-
- The segment with the best opportunities for new-to-market U.S.
- exporters is that of network management systems. As networks are
- becoming larger and more sophisticated, there is a growing need for
- software to manage the systems in terms of security, access,
- distribution, etc. Growth rates for this segment are projected at 20 to
- 25 percent annually.
-
- Additional segments with good potential for new U.S. suppliers are
- office/business applications and office tools software. Like that of
- network management systems, these segments are much more fragmented in
- terms of suppliers and software offerings. Sales of these categories of
- products are estimated to be expanding at 10 to 15 percent per year.
-
- Office/business applications software includes electronic messaging,
- standard office and business applications, and customized applications
- software. More sophisticated business applications and electronic
- messaging appear to hold particularly good potential in this category of
- products.
-
- The office tools classification includes languages, relational data
- bases, and other types of software that are needed to implement
- customized applications.
-
- There are a number of important trends in the market for networking
- software in Singapore.
-
- 1. More of the emerging networking software is expected to work on the
- IP environment, such as NetWare/IP, which is a software option for
- NetWare network services, and applications in the TCP/IP environment.
-
- 2. Local establishments are increasingly moving into open platform
- computing, which allows high-level connectivity in the network.
-
- 3. Client/server computing is additionally expanding in popularity.
- Larger establishments are more likely to choose this option, while
- peer-to-peer computing is often preferred by medium-sized and
- smaller companies. Nevertheless, the growth in network implementation
- by smaller firms will fuel continued expansion in peer-to-peer
- computing as well.
-
- Prospects for future sales of networking software are affected by
- existing operating systems and networking hardware. Interviews with the
- trade suggest that 10-15 percent of computers that are currently
- networked in Singapore have a UNIX operating system. This is compared
- with more than 90 percent that operate on DOS or have a DOS requestor.
-
- Nevertheless, UNIX operating systems are seen as having good growth
- prospects, with expansion forecast at 20 percent per year. The
- organizations most likely to use this type of system are banks,
- insurance companies, finance companies, and government organizations.
- This type of operating system is one of the best platforms for vertical
- and business applications.
-
- The vast majority of LANS in Singapore are also Ethernet, as opposed to
- token rings, networks. It is estimated that 80 percent of networks are
- Ethernet, versus 15 percent for token ring, and 5 percent for all
- others. These relative market positions should be maintained in future
- years, but technology is moving very rapidly, and the market share of
- Ethernet may decline. Banks, government agencies, and any other end
- users with critical data bases are likely to use token ring.
-
- Factors Affecting Purchasing Decisions
- --------------------------------------
-
- A number of factors are taken into consideration in distributors' and
- dealers' networking software purchasing decisions. These include:
-
- 1. The features of the software and the extent to which these can
- individually or successfully be integrated into a networking system
- which meets customers needs;
- 2. The brand name, e.g. buyers want software that they know is reliable
- and not likely to cause technical problems;
- 3. Size, servicing capability and reputation of the supplier;
- 4. The size of the market for software in Singapore, and the possible
- length of the product's lifecycle; and
- 5. Price, particularly in the area of operating systems software, where
- there are many established suppliers and distributors for each type
- of software.
-
- Receptiveness to U.S. Software
- ------------------------------
-
- Software that is produced in the United States is believed to have a
- number of advantages in this market. U.S. software tends to have a very
- big user base, and this provides buyers with the confidence that the
- products will work. U.S. software also has the image of advanced
- features and technology.
-
- However, there are also some problems with U.S. software and suppliers.
- In some cases, suppliers are not in a position to provide the level of
- support and service that is needed in Singapore. This is complicated by
- the difference in time zones between the United States and Southeast
- Asia.
-
- Some of the newer networking software is produced by medium-sized U.S.
- firms. These companies are good at technical production, but do not
- know how to package or market their products. As a result, it is
- sometimes difficult to get information on products that are available in
- the States.
-
- Despite these problems, the market is very receptive to U.S. software.
- Although new developers of software are coming up (particularly India
- and Israel), most traders do not see any changes in Singapore's sources
- of networking software in the foreseeable future. The U.S. is viewed as
- a leader and dominant force in the networking software market.
- Consequently, a receptivity rating of 5 has been given for the
- acceptance of U.S. networking software.
-
- Recommendations
- ---------------
-
- Suppliers and distributors of networking software in the Singapore
- market have the following recommendations for new-to-market U.S.
- exporters.
-
- 1. Good marketing of networking software products is important. This
- includes appropriate targeting of buyers, pricing, packaging,
- promotion, and distribution. If a supplier does not have adequate
- resources to undertake this task, one alternative is to sell products
- through a software distribution company in the United States.
-
- 2. A suitable local partner should be found. This partner may consist of
- a distributor, dealer, or consulting firm which can assist with local
- marketing of the product.
-
- 3. In most cases, small to medium-sized exporters should target dealers,
- particularly systems integrators, and attempt to "pull" the product
- through the marketing channel (see the following section on market
- access). There are a limited number of large distributors of software
- in Singapore, and most require sizeable demand in order to handle the
- product. One reported that his company will not take on new software
- unless there are prospects for a minimum volume of sales of SD 50,000
- (USD 32,000) per month. Nevertheless, large distributors have much to
- offer in terms of marketing and service support, and should not be
- ignored in exporters' marketing efforts. Consequently, dealers of
- networking software should be the focus of most exporters' initial
- marketing activities. Many of these companies are actively looking
- for new software to design networking systems/solutions for their
- customers.
-
- 4. A U.S. exporter should explore the possibility of obtaining marketing
- assistance in Asia. Some consulting firms exist which will help
- exporters plan and oversee their marketing programs. One of the
- problems with some systems integrators is that they are more
- interested in unique networking solutions for their customers than in
- marketing to other dealers. It is not unusual for a number of
- distributors or dealers to handle a supplier's product in this
- market.
-
- 5. The most effective means of reaching Singapore distributors and
- dealers is through personal sales calls. It is important for
- exporters to talk to the companies that provide "networking
- solutions" to see what their needs are and to inform them of what
- U.S. suppliers have to offer. It is through personal sales calls
- that most new products enter the Singapore market.
-
- 6. In general, the network operating systems market in Singapore is
- relatively saturated. As indicated earlier, the best prospects for
- U.S. suppliers are in selling simple utility tools to enhance
- networks, management tools, and database application tools.
-
- 7. Buyers are looking and willing to pay the price for networking
- software with features and functionalities that are different from
- other software products. Attempts to sell "me-too" products and beat
- competitors on price are discouraged due to the strong competition.
-
- 8. Service and technical support is essential in selling networking
- software. This does not imply that a supplier must have a local
- office to handle these functions, but the exporter should be prepared
- to be extremely responsive by telephone or fax to any problems or
- questions which may arise.
-
- 9. Some effort should be made to build a "brand name" for the exporter's
- products Buyers view a strong "brand name" as a sign of reliability.
-
- 10. Advertising and/or publicity in local and U.S. computer magazines
- is an effective means of informing potential customers of new
- products and building a brand name. Some of the trade publications
- available in Singapore are "ITAsia", "ITWeek", "IT Times", "ACW",
- "ComputerWorld", and "LAN Asia". A number of local distributors and
- dealers have offices in the United States or subscribe to U.S.
- trade publications. Among the more widely-read U.S. trade magazines
- are "LAN Times", "Data Communications", and "Computer Weekly".
-
- 11. Participation in trade missions is additionally a useful
- activity. The local software industry believes that the trade
- missions organized by the U.S. Department of Commerce in
- conjunction with the American Embassy in Singapore are a
- particularly effective means of meeting potential business partners
- and exchanging information.
-
- 12. Some form of consumer and dealer education efforts should also be
- considered in developing a marketing program for Singapore. Most
- end-users and a large number of distributors and dealers are not
- well-informed about the capabilities of networking software. The
- majority of local users still use networking software in its most
- "primitive form", i.e., for filing and printing. Novell is currently
- conducting meetings, classes, and seminars to increase the general
- knowledge of networking software and its capabilities.
