<DT><B>Description:</B><DD><P>Amzi! enables the easy integration of intelligent
|
|
components with conventional applications allowing you to add logic-bases
|
|
that give advice, configure and tune systems, diagnose problems, apply
|
|
business rules, monitor processes and parse documents. Your applications
|
|
access a logic-base of rules just as a database server accesses
|
|
records. The rules are expressed in Prolog which has powerful, built-in
|
|
search and pattern matching capabilities. The Amzi! Logic Server is
|
|
encapsulated as a C++ Class and C API Interface. You can add your own
|
|
Prolog functions in C/C++. Includes: compiler, listener, debugger, linker,
|
|
EXE, generator, call-in/call-out Logic Server API, full documentation,
|
|
comprehensive Prolog tutorial and lots of sample code.

documentation options provided by pod are simple and easy to learn but

powerfull enough to create nice and good looking documents.

be transformed to HTML, LaTeX (and PostScript), nroff or just plain text.

<DT><B>Description:</B><DD><P>XMove is a software package for design, prototyping and
|
|
testing the graphic user interface of a software system dealing dynamically
|
|
changing values. This conception shall be partially reflected in the name
|
|
XMove, which is also the abbreviation of "X Window System Meter Object
|
|
Visualization and Editing Tool".
|
|
<P>X Window System: XMove is based completely on the standard X Windows
|
|
System. XMove was specifically designed to support this standard for
|
|
graphics user interfaces. In many applications XMove can be used
|
|
complementary to OSF/Motif.
|
|
<P>Meter Object: Meter Object is the reference to the dynamic features of
|
|
XMove. Using XMove the user can provide dynamic attributes for any graphics
|
|
object in addition to the definition of static behavior.
|
|
<P>Visualizing: means that the displaying and managing of the
|
|
application-specific graphics, which can be designed interactively usign
|
|
XMove, is done by XMove during of the application.
|
|
<P>Editing Tool: stands for the interactive possibilities of creating the static
|
|
and dynamic parts of an application-specific graphyc usign the XMove editors.
|
|
<P>XMove generate the necesary C++ code for X Windows System to develop the
|
|
application in a very sample way. XMove is an object oriented graphics
|
|
developing system.
