Don't be fooled by the familiar "RFC-style" standards look. This CCI++ thing is proprietary. But you have to go to their Web site <URL:http://visembryo.ucsf.edu/eolas.html> to find that out: ## Eolas will soon begin licensing rights to both CCI++(TM) ## and MetaMAP(R) technologies. Someone on the www-vrml list reported the following, much more insidious rumor (I have no confirmation however): Leonardo@aol.com wrote: > The rumor is that this company has rights to a UC pending > patent that relates to any API that allows a Web browser to > read a compound document that includes embedded programs. What?? If that isn't obvious, I don't know what is. I sure hope the patent office doesn't fall for this one, although I can't say I'm optimistic. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul Burchard <burchard@math.utah.edu> ``I'm still learning how to count backwards from infinity...'' --------------------------------------------------------------------
