What can I do with OpenDoc?
OpenDoc is a new software technology that lets you add software components called "parts" to your documents. When you drag a part into a document, the part is added to the document--along with any tools or menu commands associated with that part. For example, when you add a graphic part to a document, tools and commands for editing graphics become available to you.
With OpenDoc, you can create a document that combines different types of data -- including text, graphics, sound, and video--and edit each type of data within the document. You don't have to switch back and forth between application programs.
You can also mix and match your favorite software features. For example, you can use your favorite text editor, your favorite drawing tools, and your favorite spell-checker all within the same document.
OpenDoc is a new approach to computing that lets you focus on the things you create (documents) rather than the tools you use to create them (applications).
How do I get started?
You can create documents entirely out of parts, or you can add parts to OpenDoc-aware application programs. Cyberdog, installed with the Mac OS, is an OpenDoc-aware application that includes parts you can use to access the Internet.
