OPENDoc BECOMES AN OPEN BOOK WITH THE LATEST BYTE GUIDE FROM
OSBORNE/McGRAW-HILL

Berkeley, CA, March 29, 1996-OpenDoc is being touted as the wave of the
future for programmers. Promoted by a consortium of computer and software
companies, OpenDoc is a set of standards for developing cross-platform,
object-oriented applications. Osborne/McGraw-Hill explains the ins and
outs of this new technology in BYTE Guide to OpenOoc by Andrew MacBride
and Joshua Susser. 

Written for interested readers as well as software developers, system
administrators, and information managers, BYTE Guide to OpenDoc explains
what OpenDoc is, how it works, how to program for it, and why people need
to know about it. There are in-depth examinations of all aspects of
OpenDoc, including where it stands today, and where it will be tomorrow. 

A major section of the book is devoted to enabling OLE and OpenDoc
applications so they can work together on the same system. BYTE Guide to
OpenDoc also discusses whether or not OLE and OpenDoc can coexist and what
the future may hold for each. Finally, the authors expose the potential
problems of OpenDoc and provide thoughtful, realistic solutions. An
overview of SOM is included as well. 

As with all BYTE books from Osborne/McGraw-Hill, BYTE Guide to OpenOoc is
written by authors who are experts in their fields with inside-track
knowledge. Ideal for everyone who is interested in staying on the cutting
edge of technology, BYTE Guide to OpenDoc makes sense of this emerging
technology and shows how it will influence the future. 

BYTE Guide to OpenDoc is softcover, 416 pages, and has illustrations and
charts throughout. Suggested retail price: $29.95. ISBN: 0-07-882118-5.
