[MD1]Java and Frontier
We got the connection between Java and Frontier working today.
(http://www.scripting.com/goodies/java.html)
What's next? You tell us. CGIs written in Java? Why not!
Does AppleScript connect thru this channel? Absolutely.
You can reach both ways, Java apps can now connect to features of the Mac
OS thru Frontier's runtime environment and object database; and Frontier
scripts can connect to software written, and coming soon, written in Java.
The doorway to the future! It's heavy. It's fun. Go get em!
Ye-aaaah.

[MD1]URG- New DevSupport Addr
Dear Developer,
As many of you are already aware, over the last two weeks
Apple has been dealing with a significant to complete
disruption of service in our AppleLink-Internet electronic
mail gateway, primarily due to failure of the supporting
hardware. Apple IS&T has been working around the clock to
resolve these continuing problems, but additional
complications have kept us from the goal of restored
service.
Because it is critically important that we maintain open
communications channels with our developers, we have decided
that to accelerate the timetable of our planned transition
to Internet-based email as our primary communications media.
Effective immediately, we have changed our email address to:
devsupport@apple.com
If you have sent email to devsupport@applelink.apple.com in
the past two weeks, there is a substantial chance that we
have not yet received it (note: we do not believe that the
email has been lost, but we are currently unable to access
it). In order to...

Here's an announcement from Bare Bones Software and UserLand.
The announcement is at (http://www.scripting.com/goodies/odbtexteditor.html).
This new software is the result of a collaboration between Bare Bones and
UserLand. It creates an easy and intuitive way to edit text stored in
Frontier's object database with BBEdit 4.0, the leading HTML editing tool
on the Mac.
Imagine a pipe starting with BBEdit and connecting to WebStar and via FTP
to Unix and Windows servers. This is one end of the pipe. We're also
working with Chuck Shotton, and should have an announcement and a new
software release next week.
The protocol is open and fully documented on the website and in source code
in the package. We encourage other editing and database vendors to
implement the protocol. It's an easy one to support. It took me half a day
to do the Frontier side of the protocol.
As with all the new connections we're developing in conjunction with other
Mac developers, this capability has no counterpart on...
