In addition to setting up interoperability and networking support, IXI Ltd is also working on Microsoft Corp Object Linking & Embedding and Dynamic Data Exchange functionality for its Win-tif environment in conjunction with parent company Santa Cruz Operation Inc. IXI, which says it hopes to have basic Object Linking & Embedding capabilities in place by the middle of the year, says that the aim is to have an object in a Motif widget dynamically linked to a Windows application. The Cambridge, UK-based company will be swapping ideas with Digital Equipment Corp at the end of the month – DEC is working with Microsoft to provide interoperable technologies that enable the Object Management Group Common Object Request Broker Architecture-compliant object request brokers to interact with Object Linking & Embedding and Dynamic Data Exchange and vice versa.
