  24. In article <3r1u0f$tnu@ds2.acs.ucalgary.ca> Doug Dau,
  25. dddau@acs3.acs.ucalgary.ca writes:

  39. Perhaps your right, however, I'm thinking of a future where the
  40. document centered paradigm of OpenDoc encompasses all aspects of
  41. what is now handled by the application centered paradigm. While
  42. I haven't seen it, Apple has demonstrated an OpenDoc container
  43. called CyberDog whose parts are things like ftp clients,
  44. WWW Browsers, JPEG Viewers, Sound Players. Third party developers
  45. can add things like a Kermit VT220 Telnet part for instance.
