Alongside the announcement of its own object-oriented application development environment, HyperDesk Corp, the object software house, is expected to announce at the beginning of next year, a number of high-profile users which are preparing to unveil the first generation of applications developed using its object system. Among them is thought to be the UK firm IXI Ltd, which is working on an object-oriented version of its X.desktop manager. HyperDesk, which uses the dynamic method for binding objects into an overall system, says it will support the alternative static method offered by Hewlett-Packard et al which is also included in the Object Management Group’s specification for an Object Request Broker – by the end of the year.
