IBM to Release Warp Beta 2
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).

If you purchased the OS/2 Performance Beta through the 800 number, you will automatically be shipped a copy of OS/2 Warp Beta 2 at no additional charge.

If you are interested in acquiring a copy of OS/2 Warp Beta 2, and did not purchase a copy of the OS/2 Performance Beta from the 800 number, IBM will begin taking your order later in the week of 15 August.


 * Acquiring Warp Beta 2 in Europe, Middle East, and Africa

Alternately, keep a lookout on various popular international and national bulletin boards for broadcasts from the IBM Beta Programme in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA).

SMART Analysis Program Sample Output and Explanation
(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.

Summary of Analysis:

SIZE     14,397 LINES       478 CODE        390 HITS        289 INSTS       100 EFFORT       30.7 000          37 010           93 020          103 030           31 040           23 050            2 999            0 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:
 * Resource files must be converted from Windows to OS/2 format. (SMART Toolset does this.)
 * 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.
 * Font names and selections must be converted to those available in OS/2.
 * Menus for dialogs must be defined at run-time and not in the resource file. (There are ways.)
 * Icons, cursors, and bitmaps must be converted to an OS/2 recognized format. (SMART Toolset does this.)
 * Multiple Document Interface (MDI) must be implemented in the application. (Workshops help.)
 * 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.
 * 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.
 * APIs for drawing an arc, chord, pie, etc. require several function calls in OS/2.
 * 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.
 * The CS_CLASSDC class style is not supported in OS/2.
 * Regions are bottom-right exclusive in Windows and top-right exclusive in OS/2.
 * The bits for monochrome bitmaps in OS/2 are reverse from those of Windows.
 * Windows metafiles must be converted to OS/2 metafiles. Metafile enumeration is not directly supported in OS/2.
 * 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.
 * Support of tabstops in a listbox is not available in OS/2. Columns are supported in OS/2 by using the container class.
 * 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.
 * 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.
 * Control activity messages are received in a WM_CONTROL message instead of the WM_COMMAND message.
 * 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.
 * 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.
 * OLE is not supported in OS/2.
 * 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 (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:
 * Provide the participants with a toolkit for designing and implementing a project of their choice that exploits the features of the Taligent technology.
 * Provide the IBM development organization with early feedback about the product and associated services.
 * 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:
 * Early access to the Taligent object-oriented technology, as offered in IBM's Taligent Application Environment product.
 * Early experience in object-oriented frameworks development.
 * An early start in developing applications that adhere to IBM's new object-oriented API roadmap, and that are Taligent-compatible.
 * (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:
 * ITAF code. Pre-release versions of the product code will be made available, in stages and with agreed-to refreshes, to participants.
 * 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.


 * Participant Selection Criteria

PARTICIPATION IN PHASE 2 IS FULLY SUBSCRIBED. New candidates will be considered for Phase 3.

Developers will be selected based on their technical and financial commitment to the program's objectives. The specific criteria used for the selection process are provided below.

If you meet all the criteria, and you wish to obtain additional information that may lead to your being selected for this program, contact either of the IBM employees listed at the end of this item.

IBM will review additional considerations on an individual basis to ensure that participation will be mutually beneficial to both developers and IBM. In addition, IBM reserves the right to limit the number of participants in this program.

Unless otherwise stated, participants should expect to bear the cost of the following activities:

- Extensive object-oriented application development experience with C++ (preferably with IBM's C Set ++ compiler). The assigned team should have designed and developed at least one C++ application which has been deployed, so that they are familiar with the full life-cycle of the technology. Participants are also asked to assign an executive sponsor who will provide the required senior management attention and resources.

- Experience in OS/2 development.

- Good match between possible applications and product's capabilities.

- Resource available to utilize the technology immediately in a committed project. The resource must include an experienced object-oriented lead who can manage the program for its duration. This person will be expected to:

New Book: Taligent's Guide to Designing Programs
The Taligent Operating Environment is the first commercial software system based entirely on object-oriented technology. Taligent's Guide to Designing Programs is a developer's view of this system. It introduces new concepts of programming, and empowers developers to create software more productively.

Out of their direct experience in developing the system, the authors focus on global issues of object-oriented design and writing C++ programs, and the specific issues of programming in the Taligent Operating Environment. Taligent's Guide to Designing Programs assumes the reader is an experienced C++ programmer, and proceeds from there to fully explore "the Taligent way" of programming.

Lotus Development Corp. Joins 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
 * More than 12,000 developers have received OpenDoc SDKUs, which are available on all three platforms: Macintosh, Windows, and OS/2.
 * Alpha versions of the OpenDoc SDK on all three platforms are publicly available without non disclosure agreements.
 * More than 3,000 developers have seen OpenDoc interoperate with and support OLE 2.0 at various developers' meetings, "Parts Kitchens" and conferences.
 * OpenDoc is fully extensible to mainframe and mid-range legacy systems.
 * 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.
 * 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.
 * OpenDoc provides inheritance, which significantly reduces development time and dramatically improves software quality through re-use of known and tested objects.
 * 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.
 * More than 200 products supporting one or more of the OpenDoc technologies - SOM, Bento and OSA - are shipping today.
 * 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.

OpenDoc Spreadsheet for OS/2 Coming Soon from Athena Design
Athena Design, Inc. will soon be shipping a native OS/2 version of its award-winning spreadsheet, Mesa. Mesa 2 for OS/2 embraces IBM's OpenDoc strategy by providing the first OpenDoc spreadsheet in the world.

OpenDoc, designed to run software across multiple operating systems from Macintosh to Windows to OS/2 to UNIX, is an emerging industry standard supported by IBM, Apple, WordPerfect, Novell, Lotus, Borland, Oracle, Taligent, and now Athena Design.


 * Full Exploitation of OS/2

This full-function OS/2 spreadsheet will clearly demonstrate OS/2's superior performance as a desktop operating system with its use of SOM, OpenDoc, multi-threading, and the object-oriented user interface. In addition, Mesa 2 includes MOLI, the Mesa Object Library Interface, so that customers can integrate Mesa objects with their own line-of-business applications.


 * REXX Compatibility

Scheduled for release at the end of September, Mesa 2 will include REXX compatibility. Users will be able to include REXX scripts in workbooks to automate routine procedures, build applications, and drive the Mesa spreadsheet. In their REXX programs, users will be able to utilize 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
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.

New OS/2 Development Tools: IBM's PL/I for OS/2 Family
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:
 * Ease of use through an object-oriented iconic "drag and drop" interface, which makes OS/2 easy to learn and use
 * Performance that is predictable and consistent
 * True multithreading that lets you use multiple programs simultaneously
 * 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:
 * Strongly typed enumerations, typed structures and unions, and user-defined types make it easier for you to identify potential problems at compile time.
 * PL/I's various storage classes--including automatic, static, controlled, defined, and based--increase the flexibility of the language.
 * A choice of linkages and parameter-passing mechanisms lets you call C, C, C++, REXX, and Fortran applications from within your PL/I applications.
 * The new PACKAGE statement allows you to group related declarations and procedures that share name scope.
 * A state-of-the-art macro facility is now available in PL/I for OS/2.
 * 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.

PL/I for OS/2 Personal Edition was designed for small software development companies, consultants, and students. The Personal Edition supports new PL/I application development on standalone PCs or small LANs.

PL/I for OS/2 Professional Edition includes all the features of the Personal Edition, additional function that enhances its compatibility with the mainframe compiler, preprocessor support for DB2/2 and CICS OS/2, and support for IMS CS/2. PL/I for OS/2 Professional Edition was designed for programmers who develop or maintain mainframe PL/I applications and are looking for a reliable client/server solution.

The PL/I for OS/2 Toolkit consists of additional tools, including a graphical prototyping tool and a code generator that can help you develop graphical user interfaces. The PL/I for OS/2 Toolkit can help you streamline the programming process, to offer a complete development environment for PL/I for OS/2 PM applications.

Common Open Client/Server Terms
This is a list of common terms used in the open client/server environment. Pronunciations are included for some items.

The list was compiled by Sean Haffey, IBM Open Client/Server Group, IBM United Kingdom, Internet userid seanh@vnet.ibm.com. Please address comments to him.

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.

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.

ODCS. Open Distributed Computing Structure. An early name for IBM's Open Blueprint.

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.

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
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.

IBM Developer Assistance Program Workshop: Programming With DCE Security and Writing ACL Managers
One of the key advantages of using OSF/DCE to build distributed applications is the integration of the DCE Security Service into DCE. This four-day course discusses the important issues related to security, the design of the DCE Security Service, and how this design addresses these issues in DCE. The class focuses on building security applications using DCE APIs, and how to develop a complete DCE ACL Manager.


 * Class Content

The class begins by introducing some general security issues in a distributed environment. It proceeds with a quick overview of the DCE Security Service, followed by a tutorial on Kerberos, one of its central components. Lectures and labs take the developer through the process of building basic client/server applications utilizing the different aspects of the DCE security Service. The class then expands on this basic knowledge to design more complex applications. Each module is accompanied by an extensive walkthrough of a sample application. The class concludes with a discussion on advanced topics of DCE security, as well as some of the new features that will be available in the next major release of DCE, due out in 1994.

You know about the DB2 family of database management systems -- DB2 on MVS, DB2/VM, DB2/6000, DB2/400, and DB2/2 -- but do you know how they work together? Do you know about the tools you can use to manage enterprise-wide tasks like installation, application development, and monitoring and tuning? How do data utilities and replication tools help you manage multi-platform data? What role does parallelism play in all this? Chris Arnold assembles the pieces into solutions for today, and transforms those solutions into the vision for tomorrow.

Vice President and General Manager of IBM's Santa Teresa Laboratory, Chris Arnold joined IBM in 1965 and has served in a variety of   technical and managerial positions in the Federal Systems Division, Advanced Systems Development Division, and Systems Development Division. His technical background has focused on the commercial and proprietary areas of operating systems development. Chris was also director of the Myers Corners NY Laboratory, where he was responsible for the development of MVS operating systems.


 * The Future is Today

There's big news on the horizon for DB2, and Carl Chamberlain gives a taste of what's coming in the next major product announcement. From parallel query processing to new SQL function, from client/server enhancements to significant improvements in availability and performance, Carl provides a rundown on what's coming next, and when to expect it.

In 1963, Carl Chamberlain joined IBM as a systems engineer in San Francisco. He was a member of the IBM / North American Rockwell / Caterpillar Tractor joint development effort resulting in IMS, and has been involved with IBM database products ever since. He joined the DB2 organization in 1982 as the manager responsible for test and release, and continued in that role until 1991, when he became the IMS product manager. Carl returned to the world of DB2 as its product manager in 1993.

The Networking Software Market in Singapore
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:
 * Strong marketing and technical servicing efforts are needed to enter the market;
 * A suitable local partner should be found, with efforts focused on system integrators; and
 * 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.

The IBM Developer Assistance Program in Europe, Middle East, and Africa
As the computer industry shifts to new forms of development to meet the demands of client/server computing, the abilities of the software developer also need to evolve and expand. Fully exploiting the power and potential of the latest advanced operating systems, together with related products and technologies, places heavy demands on developers.

For software developers using IBM's OS/2 and OS/2-based products, the IBM Developer Assistance Program in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA DAP) meets these demands, and provides much more besides.

The EMEA DAP is open to any developer in EMEA who is actively developing for OS/2, be it a device driver, a commercial product, a line-of-business application, or a set of SOM objects.

Join the EMEA DAP and move into the fast lane of OS/2 development!


 * Bulletin-Board Service and CD-ROMs

As a DAP member, you can access our dedicated EMEA DAP Bulletin Board Service (BBS) and benefit from the wealth of tools, information, and advice that we make available.

The BBS is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It enables fellow OS/2 developers around the world to exchange ideas and information, getting rapid responses from the experts. Support is provided by our own OS/2 Certified Engineers, developers in the IBM programming labs, and even other DAP members.

Our electronic repositories provide a comprehensive collection of many IBM-developed OS/2 tools, documentation, fixes, sample code, electronic newsletters, news items, and marketing material to support your development efforts. We periodically mail out the latest offers to EMEA DAP members, as well as DAP Library CD-ROMs, which conveniently package together much of the information available on the bulletin board, making this information readily accessible.

In order to make the BBS connection affordable for the developer, we have installed local systems in many countries throughout EMEA, which shadow the central BBS machine in Basingstoke UK. Members of the DAP in those countries now no longer need to make an international telephone call to connect to the DAP BBS. Local access to the DAP BBS will be provided in more countries in the near future.

And what's more, it is all currently free of charge!

Discounts -

Selected promotions and discounts may be available when purchasing IBM PC hardware, OS/2 software, and OS/2-related publications. These discount programs vary by country, and your local IBM DAP contact will be pleased to tell you if such a program is available in your country.

Technical Seminars --

Technical seminars are held several times per year in different countries, and the DAP program provides early information to members about the dates and venues. These seminars are an excellent way to learn about the latest developments in OS/2, and talk directly with the IBM developers themselves.

Partners in Development also will assist in vendors' marketing and delivery programs. For example, vendors will be able to work with the Rochester lab's fulfillment center on their system configuration proposals for customers, and to get their offerings included in IBM configuration proposals. In addition, they will be able to have their offerings pre-loaded in systems shipped directly from IBM. Assistance is also available to business partners using the IBM AS/400 Portable One, a full-function, portable model.

AS/400 Partners in Development also includes electronic access to IBM developers through ASsociation/400 On-Line. The interactive service provides all schedules, new offerings, and changes via a regular newsletter and special mailings. It also includes developers' forums, question-and-answer access to IBM technical support staff, bulletin boards, and computer industry trade articles.

On-line support also will be available to vendors seeking to enhance their marketing efforts with IBM's new Portable Sales Automation System (PSAS). PSAS is a portable configurator and a suite of automated selling tools with leading-edge graphics that runs on PC laptop or notebook computers.

Membership in ASsociation/400 continues to provide its members with benefits including developer support and two free software licenses per year for IBM software development tools and products such as ImagePlus and Ultimedia. ASsociation/400 members also receive education discounts and developer leases.
