 This is IBM technology for you.   Usually hands_down the BEST on the
planet, but so misunderstood that it never gets any support.  People are
always comparing Active X to Open doc, or Java to Opendoc, because they
rarely understand what OpenDoc can do. I don't even really understand it,
but I have played with it enough to figure out that it is something i
WANT. (g).  Just like OS/2 /WPS/SOM,,, Opendoc is technological Best of
Breed but nobody understands WHY they SHOULD WANT it.  It get pretty
depressing sometimes to think what the personal computing experience COULD
be like, if the amazing technology was in the hands of the amazing
marketing. (g).
