A Distributed Object-Oriented Version of Notesfiles

INTRODUCTION: Distributed computer systems have become common, but distributed software is still hard to write. Object-oriented programming matches the needs of distributed programming because programs are encapsulated with their data, reducing the need to move data to the programs that are to manipulate them or programs to the data that they need. However, most software is not object-oriented. This thesis describes how a UNIX(R) application was first made object-oriented and then changed to run over a network.
