Software Product Description ___________________________________________________________________ PRODUCT NAME: Compaq DECforms/Hanzi for OpenVMS Version 3.2 SPD 26.D3.05 DESCRIPTION DECforms/Hanzi for OpenVMS V3.2 is the simplified Chinese (hereafter referred to as local language) version of standard DECforms V3.2 which offers a set of software development tools and a run-time environment for implementing powerful yet user-friendly human interfaces. DECforms/Hanzi extends standard DECforms to support local language characters under the OpenVMS/Hanzi operating system. DECforms is the Compaq OpenVMS implementation of the ANSI/ISO stan- dard for Form Interface Management System (FIMS). One of the most pow- erful principles reflected in the DECforms architecture is complete separation of forms and functions. With DECforms, user interface pro- cessing is completely removed from the application program and totally isolated within the form itself. The application program is only con- cerned with the processing of data, not with the gathering and dis- play of data at the user interface. This makes application programs much simpler to develop and easier to maintain. DECforms/Hanzi supports simplified Chinese data representation that conforms to the Primary Set of National Standard Code of Chinese Char- acters Set for Information Interchange (GB-2312) of the People\rquote s Republic of China. This SPD describes the local language specific features of the soft- ware product. For details of the DECforms V3.2 features, please re- fer to DECforms V3.2 Software Product Description (SPD 29.90.xx).
