- Description:
- A new plug-in software architecture that lets you extend the
- usefulness of your applications by easily adding new
- functionality. Uses software components--called parts--that
- can be dragged-and-dropped into documents created by any
- OpenDoc-aware application. You can combine parts from
- different Mac OS software developers to add tables, graphs,
- outlines, and even live Internet resources into your
- documents. Since OpenDoc is a cross-platform technology,
- documents created with OpenDoc can work across different
- computer platforms, including Mac OS, Windows, UNIX, and
- OS/2. OpenDoc 1.2.1 includes all the improvements in OpenDoc
- 1.2, as well as support for Mac OS 8.0.
-
- This software consists of one Disk Copy NDIF (New Disk Image
- Format) compressed image, which requires Disk Copy 6.1 or
- later to use. Download this software to your hard drive and
- then double-click it to use it. Disk Copy is available in
- the Utilities folder.
-
- Disk Copy 6.1 (or later) or Disk Image Mounter 2.1 (or
- later) from Apple are the recommended applications to access
- all disk images released by Apple and are the only supported
- applications to access NDIF disk images.

- From the Read Me included with this software:
-
- What does OpenDoc install?
-
- Installing OpenDoc adds the following items to your
- computer:
-
- * OpenDoc system software (in the Extensions folder)
-
- * the Editors folder (in the System Folder)
-
- * the Stationery folder (at the root level of your hard
- disk)
-
- OpenDoc system software
-
- After you install OpenDoc system software, your computer is
- ready to use OpenDoc parts and OpenDoc-aware applications
- from popular Mac OS software developers.
-
- The Editors folder
-
- When you install OpenDoc parts, the part editors are placed
- in the Editors folder. Editors are like mini-applications
- that handle different types of data, such as text, graphics,
- or Internet information. Once an editor is installed, it
- works something like a system extension--its functionality
- is available but you don't open or use the editor itself. To
- use an editor, you need to locate the editor's stationery
- (in the Stationery folder on the root level of your hard
- drive).
-
- IMPORTANT All of your OpenDoc editors should be located in
- the Editors folder (inside the System Folder). Otherwise,
- OpenDoc will not be able to locate the editors.
-
- The Stationery folder
-
- When you install an OpenDoc part, part stationery is placed
- in the Stationery folder. You can either double-click an
- editor's stationery to create a new document with the editor
- or drag the stationery into another document to add the
- editor's functionality to any OpenDoc-aware application or
- document. OpenDoc stationery can be placed anywhere in your
- system. You do not have to leave it in the Stationery
- folder.
