Programming with Java IDL was written using Microsoft Word 6.0 and 7.0 and
FrameMaker 3.0, 4.0 and 5.0. For the record, Microsoft Word 7.0 really cannot handle
documents as long as this book very well. Also for the record, FrameMaker and Word really
don't play well together. Some figures were developed using FrameMaker and Visio 3.0 and
4.0, and converted to encapsulated PostScript using Photoshop 3.0.4. HiJaak was used to
convert some images provided by Sun to PC-friendly formats. There were a few things that
we found simpler to do with Paint Shop Pro 4.12 than with Photoshop, so we used that as
necessary. Wiley used Quark to do the layout and composition.
Code examples were developed on Sun Microsystems Sparc workstations of varying models.
The code examples were tested on Sparc Solaris 2.5.1 and Microsoft Windows 95.
