Netsurfer Licenses Objective-Framework(tm)
Atlanta, GA, March 11, 1996 - Netsurfer, Inc. today announced that
it has reached agreement with Tip Top Software to license Tip Top's
Objective-Framework(tm) technology. Netsurfer plans to include
Objective-Framework in its Web products including the Netsurfer(tm)
Browser and Netkit(tm) Web Development Platform.
Objective-Framework provides true language independence to the
Objective-C (OpenStep) object model. It allows seamless integration
of the Objective-C runtime system with other compiled and interpreted
programming languages. Currently supported language environments
include Objective-Perl(tm) and Objective-TCL(tm). Objective-Framework
integrates with Objective-C and OpenStep object libraries making
it possible to build sophisticated object-oriented Web-based
applications using a variety of programming languages.
"Inclusion of Objective-Framework in our Netsurfer browser and
Netkit development tools provides these products with multiple
scripting languages as well as the ability to run Web-based applets
written in Perl and TCL." said Jon Bennett, Chief Technical Officer
at Netsurfer. "With these languages in addition to Objective-C
and OpenStep objects, Netkit based applications and Web browsers
provide the ultimate tool set for building and testing Web-based
MCCA (Mission Critical Custom Applications)."
An early experience version of Netsurfer 2.0 and the Netkit framework
including Objective-Framework is available today for developers
using the NEXTSTEP operating environment from Next Software, Inc.
The Netkit Web Development Platform will be available on Windows
NT, Solaris (NEO), and OpenStep for Mach in second half of 1996.
Contact netkit@netsurfer.com for more information.
