NAME
ddif, DDIF - Digital Document Interchange Format files
DESCRIPTION
DDIF(TM) is the CDA(TM) interchange, storage, and application file for-
mat for revisable compound documents containing multiple data types in-
cluding text, graphics, images, and audio. DDIF compound documents can
dynamically link to DTIF(TM) (Digital Table Interchange Format) files
for automatic update via ACA(TM) LiveLinks(TM).
DDIF compound documents can be displayed and printed on a variety of
devices, including text-only terminals or PCs (character-cell) and
imaging and WYSIWYG terminals (windows workstations and PCs).
DOTS (Data Object Transport Syntax) and network services such as
DECwindows Motif mail, DECnet(TM), the File Transfer Protocol, DEC
MAILworks(TM), PATHWORKS(TM), and ACA LiveLinks support transfer of
DDIF compound documents among key NAS(TM) platforms: VMS(TM) and UL-
TRIX(TM) DECwindows(TM) Motif(R), X windows on Sun(TM) SPARCsta-
tions(TM), DEC(TM) OSF/1(R), MS-DOS(R) Microsoft(R) Windows(TM), and
OS/2(TM). For more information, refer to manpages for DOTS and the dtoc
and ctod commands.
DEC CDA Run-Time Services provides the facilities for CDA applications
to create, store, interchange, and display CDA-supported compound docu-
ment and tabular file formats. For more information on CDA enabling
technologies and the DEC CDA Run-Time Services, refer to the CDA man-
page.
