Yellow Box

operating system Apple Computer, Inc.'s new development

platform for building desktop, server, and web

applications. Yellow Box is a rich object-oriented

environment that is tightly integrated with Java and allows

you to deploy applications across five platforms: Rhapsody,

Rhapsody for Intel, Windows 95, Windows NT, and Mac OS.

All Yellow Box-based products are an evolution of OpenStep -

an operating system-independent, object-oriented application

platform from NeXT.

Integrating the cross-platform robustness of OpenStep with

Apple's market-leading digital media and graphics technologies

will differentiate the Yellow Box from other development

platforms.

"Yellow Box for Windows" is the run-time software

(implemented as dynamically linked libraries) that allows

Yellow Box applications to run under Windows 95 and

Windows NT. Applications that use it will feature a full

native Windows user interface.
