EDis V 2.0 for OS/2 (PM & OpenDoc version) (demo)
---------------------------------------------------
released: 16.09.1996 as FULL and DEMO versions
This readme contains an overview of the program,
read the Users' Guide EDis.inf for further informations
regarding installing and using EDis. An online help
is also available within the program.
(Overview)
The EDis project realizes a distributed multiuser
editor which allows some users to edit the same text
at the same time synchonized, protecting all changes
against each other and transfering changes made by one
user to every other user of the text, cross a network
and (planned) cross different platforms such as OS/2 and
Windows (95/NT).
There are two versions of the program, a demo version
and a full version.
- The full version can be bought from me or from an online
warehouse. Send me an email or go to the EDis homepage
to get further informations where to get the full version.
Note: This software has to be licensed for every
workstation (host) it is used on.
- The demo version can be copied and shared freely without
payment. It is fully functional except the fact that
SAVING OF TEXT IS DISABLED. Academic staff and students
may obtain a free registration number from me by sending
me an email with name, address and academic grade or
profession. By submitting the registration number inside
the registry dialog, saving of text is enabled.
Note: Registering the software is only for academic useage
due to the fact, that this program is also part of an
academic project. All other people who want a full version
of the program have to buy it.
The editor is divided into a client part and a server part.
The server part does the text storing and managing and is
implemented as a collection of DSOM-classes handled by a
DSOM-Server-Program. The editor client handles the local
version of the text and communicates all changes made with
the server. Till now, two clients exists, a PM client running on
on OS/2 Warp (3 & 4) and an OpenDoc part running on OS/2 Warp 3
with Fixpack 17 and OpenDoc from Devcon 10 or OS/2 Warp 4.
This two clients share the 90% of the code needed for local
text managament, only about 10% implement the code for the
different environments. There will be a Windows 95/NT/OLE2
client and also a Windows 95/NT server, betaing end of
october.
EDis serves both as a technologie demo demonstrating the
power of combining SOM, DSOM and OpenDoc into a software
project and as a real world application which let you
edit text (ASCII).
This project is part of a graduate paper about compound
document frameworks, comparing OLE & OpenDoc and the
following todays frameworks:
- CDF: Compound Document Framework, IBM, OS/2 & Windows
- ODF: OpenDoc Development Framework, Apple, MacOS & Windows
- MFC: Microsoft Foundation Classes, MS, Windows.
