|> 1.  What is the common open software environment?
|>
|> The common open software environment process was announced by
|> Hewlett-Packard Company, IBM Corporation, The Santa Cruz Operation,
|> SunSoft, Inc., Univel, and UNIX System Laboratories in March 1993.  These
|> sponsoring companies saw the need to expedite the adoption of standards
|> and promote greater consistency and interoperability among UNIX system
|> products in the industry.  In addition to the Common Desktop Environment
|> (CDE), other areas of focus for the common open software environment
|> include graphics, multimedia, object technology, system administration
|> and networking.
|>
|> *********************************************************************
|>
|> 2. What is the Common Desktop Environment?
|>
|> The Common Desktop Environment provides end users with an innovative,
|> intuitive, easy-to-use desktop computing environment.  CDE provides
|> software developers with a single set of programming interfaces for HP,
|> IBM, SCO, SunSoft, Univel, USL and other platforms.
|>
|> The Common Desktop Environment incorporates existing technology from
|> participating vendors and has been designed to support distributed
|> enterprise computing applications.  As such, it will scale across a
|> range of client/server platforms, support small workgroups to large
|> enterprises, and support simple text and data uses as well as advanced
|> collaborative multimedia applications.
|>
|> *********************************************************************

|> 3. Who should Attend the CDE Developers Conference?
|>
|> - people who would like to expand the number of platforms that their
|>   existing applications run on.
|>
|> - people interested in creating applications that will run on platforms
|>   available from multiple vendors.

|> - people who want to take full advantage of the desktop feature set to
|>   deliver applications that are highly integrated with the desktop.
|>
|> - system integrators who provide cross platform solutions.
|>
