DEM-03 : Innotek Products

Topic Description OS/2 Kit for Acrobat Reader Adobe's PDF documents are the de-facto standard for electronic documents and every business is using PDF. We deliver Acrobat Reader 4.05 on OS/2 which allows customers to view and print current documents. The old Acrobat Reader 3.0 for OS/2 is not able to view most of the current documents. We are able to also support more recent versions of Acrobat Reader (such as 6.0) but we chose to not deliver this until we have customer demand as very few documents are incompatible with 4.05 and the more recent versions have much higher hardware requirements. Note that our Acrobat Reader is orders of magnitudes faster than the Acrobat Reader 3.0 for OS/2 and we provide full support for IBM Web Browser without the many problems and restrictions of the old viewer. InnoTek Font Engine for OS/2 A common complaint from customers about web browsing on OS/2 has been the incredibly poor font rendering quality, i.e. legibility. We have implemented a modern font engine for OS/2 making use of advanced techniques such as anti-aliasing ("smoothing") and overcoming the typical restrictions of the OS/2 default font engine (distortion, jiggling characters, missing Unicode support, etc.). InnoTek's Font Engine for OS/2 currently is an add-on for IBM Web Browser for OS/2. Customer feedback has been incredibly positive so far and it is a big gain in use friendliness, esp. when working a lot with web browsers. Schedule Sunday, October 19, 2003 09:00 AM Sierra Ballroom Speaker Info Oliver Stein has over 10 years of OS/2 experience. Since 1992, he has held various positions in technical marketing and support in IBM Germany's software group.

Since 2002 he is responsible for worldwide sales at InnoTek Systemberatung GmbH, a german software and consulting company.

DEM-04 : Innotek Development Kits

Topic Description OS/2 Kit for Java InnoTek has signed a license contract with Sun Microsystems to create a product allowing customers to deploy the latest Java 1.4.2 technology on OS/2. It has been designed as a cost-effective, fully compliant solution delivering the most widely used Java environment on OS/2. It also includes full support for the Java Plug-in with IBM Web Browser for OS/2 and Mozilla. Performance has shown to exceed IBM Java 1.3.1 and competing 1.4.x ports to OS/2 significantly and for most operations is identical or very close to the Windows platform. We are able to maintain this product with very little efforts (i.e. deliver current Java technology) and we can guarantee identical behavior between the OS/2 Kit and Sun Java for Windows and also implement OS/2 specific fixes/changes. According to customer feedback, our Java implementation for OS/2 is extremely functional, solid, resource effective and tuned. We can keep it on the latest Java level and provide full support for it at fractions of the cost for what it would take IBM or another vendor to support a JVM on OS/2. GCC for OS/2 (C/C++ Compiler Suite) We are officially maintaining the OS/2 version of the GNU C/C++ compiler suite. The reason for this is that IBM has withdrawn all C/C++ compiler environments for OS/2 and the last versions are very much outdated by now and there is no support available. InnoTek does require current C/C++ technology on OS/2 for some time and there are other companies requiring this, too. The best example might be IBM Web Browser for OS/2 which is going to use the GCC compiler in the future as well. We are delivering a fully supported environment that can replace IBM VisualAge C++. We have also done special work to remove the requirement for any GPL licensed subcomponents. We plan to keep this compiler current for some years and offer defect support for 3rd parties.
