Hi folks,
On Monday this week, we announced FutureTense Texture, a Java-based next
generation Internet publishing system. Texture has two parts: a Windows
'95/NT (Macintosh to follow) based authoring tool and a Java-based viewer.
The Texture authoring tool has an interface that feels very much like
high-end desktop publishing tools like QuarkXPress and PageMaker, and
enables graphic designers to create terrific looking, highly interactive
documents without writing any HTML or Java code.
Among many other things, Texture supports:
- arbitrary placement of text, graphics and image anywhere on the page
- layering of objects, including transparency
- content drawn from multiple, distributed Web sites
- content encoded in HTML, GIF or JPEG
- a rich set of interactive behaviors
- time-based content updates
...
No, I do not want to turn this into a sales pitch, but I thought that folks
interested in Java-based stuff would be interested in Texture. Here are some
pointers:

and some nifty documents created using Texture. You'll need a Java-enabled
browser (like Netscape Navigator 2.0). And for those of you that have a copy
of a JDK 1.0-based HotJava, try it out and let us know if it works!

And, as some in this list are known to say,
Have fun!
cheers, bc
