26 <p>[PRODUCTNAME] software is a complete, feature-rich
27 office productivity suite that provides, in combination with this
28 SDK, all the essential tools for building and deploying custom
29 solutions that build on, or integrate with, the [PRODUCTNAME] suite
31 <p>The SDK is a development kit for [PRODUCTNAME], which
32 eases the development of office components. It provides a set of
33 libraries, binaries, header, and IDL files which have final API's
34 and can only be extended with new functionality. This set of libraries
35 and binaries is the minimum set of functions needed to use system
36 abstraction for base functionality and for using UNO (Universal
37 Network Objects) component technology. The UNO component model is the
38 base of the whole Office API. The SDK provides everything necessary
39 to use the Office API from external programs (e.g. Java, C++) or to
40 extend the Office functionality with new components (e.g. new filter
41 components, CalcAddin functions). It is compatible over several
42 versions because the API remains unaffected and will only be extended
43 with new functions.
</p>
44 <p>The SDK provides the basic building blocks for external developers
45 to develop components in any language for which a binding exists.
46 Currently, there are language bindings for [PRODUCTNAME] Basic, Java,
47 and different C++ compilers on different platforms, for [PRODUCTNAME],
48 thus covering the two most commonly used programming languages. There
49 will be no limit for office automation in heterogeneous environments.
50 Currently supported platforms of the SDK are Linux, Solaris (sparc,
51 x86), and Windows.
</p>
52 <p>The SDK also contains
