| ## 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 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 WebStart.
