Business Case

The client introduced a new graphical object technology for client-server systems, where reusable components could be deployed to create highly efficient object technologies. The client needed additional modules created for it's toolkit for communication processes.

Solutions

Parallel Software using its own Foundry Process®, created the first of a series of communications-oriented protocol components using AppWare Loadable Modules (ALMs) for the DOD protocol suite. These TCP/IP ALMs were created for both the Macintosh and Windows platforms.

They included FTP layer functionality for object and file level transfers. These components within the AppWare environment would allow the user complete connectivity between the client and a number of back-end servers such as UNIX, and Netware.

Ten other ALMs were created on both the Macintosh and Windows platforms. These personal productivity modules included:

  • BIN/HEX and HEX/BIN Macintosh to Windows (and visa versa) binary file conversions

  • Stylized Text (Macintosh)

  • Spell Checker for 25 languages (Windows and Macintosh)

  • Hyphenation for 15 different languages (Windows and Macintosh)

  • Calendar (Windows)

  • Text - to - Speech (Macintosh)

  • Auto-Scripter for Components
