| Corel Office for Java Corel is developing the first suite of general-purpose business applications in Java, including a WordPerfect-based word processor, a Quattro Pro-based spreadsheet, and other components. To overcome early problems with Java, Corel developed its own foundation classes and a memory management mechanism that dynamically loads and unloads class files as needed. Anyware (Applix) The Anyware family of products uses Java to deliver business applications to networked desktops. The Anyware WebSheet can export the data in Microsoft Excel and Lotus 1-2-3 formats. NetResults (Innotech Multimedia) NetResults is a suite of tools for Web sites and intranets. It includes a new multithreaded search engine that performs multiple concurrent searches across heterogeneous networks, with results in order of relevance. OrbixWeb 2.0 (Iona Technologies) OrbixWeb lets Java applets work with distributed Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) objects, opening an important gateway to remote client/server applications. Layout Mill (Ignite Technologies) Layout Mill is a new Java development tool written entirely in Java, so developers can run it on any platform and write for any platform. A GUI "switch" lets programmers preview their program's look on Windows PCs, Macs, and Unix/Motif systems just by clicking on a button. Copyright 1994-1998 BYTE |
