By managing documents down to the component level, users can retrieve, access, version, and secure each component individually, = while maintaining the link between each component within the document, or documents, of which they are a part. A graphic, a procedure, or a = paragraph are examples of components that can be dynamically assembled within the content management framework to create personal, interactive content. Pivotal to the Solaris Operating Environment integration was Chrystal Software's introduction of Web-based editing using Java[TM] technology = for all documents and XML/SGML components. This enables authors to access = their documents, make changes, and check in documents from distant locations, while working from home or during travel. This add-on functionality = uses a standard browser interface running on Solaris desktops. In addition to XML/SGML, file check-out/check-in works with graphics, word processing files, and any other file format client software.=20 The Solaris Operating Environment provides seamless support for 32- and 64-bit applications, superior Java technology performance, and high reliability and is available for systems based on both Intel and = SPARC[TM] microprocessors. "We are very pleased to see this type of web application being hosted = on the Solaris Operating Environment. The use of XML and Java are great = examples of implementing open standards," said Bill Smith, Sun's XML Technology = Center Manager.

This solution enables collaborative review and component-based commentary, improving the overall quality of documents = for publication. Astoria systems running in the Solaris Operating Environment will be available in early 2000. The initial release of Eclipse, an innovative solution incorporating traditional Web pages and new, interactive = content, will support Solaris Operating Environment clients.
