PowerPC. It's fast. It's a great use of RISC technology. Apple sold
over ONE MILLION PowerPC machines in ten months. It's your future.
For information on how to port your application native, look at this
page.
OpenDoc
is a whole new way of building applications. Stop thinking about
applications--parts is parts. The idea here is that you essentially
write a C++ object that can be embedded inside any document. It is
important to note that OpenDoc isn't really a framework in the sense of
providing default "do the right thing" methods for parts. Instead it
provides the class hierarchy alone. A cross-platform part framework is
also under development.
DTS Sample code is now available for browsing via the world wide web.
You can also download it using ftp from the
DTS sample code area on
