Interoperability With X-Midas - Overview
Currently there are two (2) major options to have NeXtMidas interoperate with X-Midas.
- XBC - X-Midas Backward Compatibility
- This option allows NeXtMidas macros to call X-Midas Fortran primitives.
- NeXtOPT
- This option allows NeXtMidas to be installed as an X-Midas option tree.
How do I choose which one to use?
- Choose XBC if:
- Starting a new project which requires a few X-Midas primitives that you do not want
to re-code and which do not have NeXtMidas Java counterparts.
- You eventually require your application to run from a browser with Applets or WebStart.
- Choose NeXtOPT if:
- You have a relatively large X-Midas macro or project and you need a few
NeXtMidas/Java capabilities.
- You have no requirement to run your application from a browser with
Applets or WebStart.
