<<<One of the most powerful features of the GEOS environment, and the feature
that separates it from all other environments, is the patent-pending
Generic-to-Specific User Interface technology, which isolates application
development from specific user-interface implementations. This flexible GUI
technology means that applications written for GEOS are completely scalable,
with no recoding or recompiling necessary when they are moved from desktop to
hand-held machines.
The Generic-to-Specific UI technology allows systems incorporating GEOS to
have different specific user interfaces while maintaining compatibility with
any GEOS application. For example, a calendar application running on a
subnotebook with a desktop metaphor can be plugged into a pen-based palmtop
computer, where the application will take on the appropriate look and feel
while adopting pen-specific behavior.>>>
Not being a programmer or expert, I'm not sure what this means. But, if it
means what I think it does, then anything written for Zoomer will be
compatible with Ensemble 2.0 since they both are written for PC-Geos 2.0. My
question is how will this work, and is it neccessary for it to work given
Zoomer's more narrowly-targeted users?
