1.1 Displays and Keyboards

Question 1: Does the product include any display/keyboards?

Response

Yes   No

Rationale

If the product includes one or more display/keyboards then conformance to the X Window System Display is also required.

Reference

The X/Open Branding Programme, How to Brand - What to Buy, Part 3, Profile Definitions, Common Desktop Environment, Components.

Question 2: Is your product registered as conforming to the X Window System Display Product Standard?

Response

Yes No Applied for

Rationale

If the product includes one or more display/keyboards then conformance to the X Window System Display is also required.

1.2 Operating System Profiles

Question 3: Is your product registered as conformant to any X/Open operating system profiles?

Response

Profile	Supported
XPG3 Base	Yes   No
Base	Yes   No
Base 95	Yes   No
UNIX	Yes   No
UNIX 98	Yes   No

Rationale

A product/system registered as conformant to the Common Desktop Environment Product Standard Definition can optionally declare in its Conformance Statement that it is also conformant to one (or more) of the listed Product Standard Definitions (provided it is separately registered as so conformant).

1.3 Application Building Services

Question 4: Does your product support the XCDE Application Building Services?

Response

Yes   No

Rationale

Support for Application Building Services (ABS) defined in Chapter 14 of the CAE Specification, XCDE Services and Applications is optional.

Reference

1.4 External X Server

Question 5: With which external X Servers have you demonstrated conformance?

Response

Rationale

Conformance must be established in association with at least one identified external X-server.

Conformance testing must be performed in conjunction with at least one identified external X-server (even if a formal indicator of compliance has not yet been identified).

1.5 Media Types

Question 6: What media types can be manipulated?

Response

Media Type	Can Be Manipulated
ADOBE_PORTABLE_DOCUMENT_FORMAT	Yes   No
APPLE_PICT	Yes   No
COMPOUND_TEXT	Yes   No
ENCAPSULATED_POSTSCRIPT	Yes   No
ENCAPSULATED_POSTSCRIPT_INTERCHANGE	Yes   No
GIF87	Yes   No
GIF89	Yes   No
JFIF	Yes   No
POSTSCRIPT	Yes   No
RFC_822_MESSAGE	Yes   No
SND	Yes   No
STRING	Yes   No
SUN_AUDIO_DATA	Yes   No
SUN_RASTER	Yes   No
TIFF	Yes   No
WAV	Yes   No
XBM	Yes   No
XPM	Yes   No

Rationale

On all XCDE systems, the listed media names have the meanings indicated in the CAE Specification, XCDE Definition and Infrastructure. It is implementation-dependent whether facilities are provided to manipulate any of these formats.

XCDE conforming systems support at least the listed media types.

Reference

CAE Specification, XCDE Definitions and Infrastructure, Section 3.1, XCDE Data Format Naming, and Section 6.6.2, Media Exchange Message Set.

1.6 Underlying Communications Mechanisms

Question 7: Is the implementation of the protocol based on a CDE 1.0 product licensed from Hewlett-Packard Company, International Business Machines Corporation, Sun Microsystems, Inc., Novell, Inc., the Open Software Foundation, or one of their sublicensees?

Response

Yes   No

Rationale

Although the current issues of the CAE Specifications identified above do not specify all aspects of interoperability between CDE systems, it is highly desirable that different CDE branded systems do in fact interoperate. It is therefore a requirement that the basis of a particular systems interoperability is identified in its CDE Product Standard Conformance Statement. This can be done in one of the following ways:

• The implementation of the protocol is based on a CDE 1.0 product licensed from Hewlett-Packard Company, International Business Machines Corporation, Sun Microsystems, Inc., Novell, Inc., the Open Software Foundation, or one of their sublicensees.
• The implementor describes what interoperability testing has been performed with systems provided by other vendors.

Reference

Question 8: If the underlying RPC protocol is not based on a licensed CDE 1.0 product, what interoperability testing with licensed CDE 1.0 products has been successfully carried out?

Response

Please describe interoperability testing that has successfully demonstrated interoperation of your rpc implementation with one or more licensed CDE 1.0 products, or enter "N/A" if your rpc implementation is based on such a product, and you have recorded this in answer to question 7.

Rationale

Although the current issues of the CAE Specifications identified above do not specify all aspects of interoperability between CDE systems, it is highly desirable that different CDE branded systems do in fact interoperate. It is therefore a requirement that the basis of a particular systems interoperability is identified in its CDE Product Standard Conformance Statement. This can be done in one of the following ways:

1. The implementation of the protocol is based on a CDE 1.0 product licensed from Hewlett-Packard Company, International Business Machines Corporation, Sun Microsystems, Inc., Novell, Inc., the Open Software Foundation, or one of their sublicensees.
2. The implementor describes what interoperability testing has been performed with systems provided by other vendors.

1.7 Calendar and Appointment Services

Question 9: What calendar name formats are supported?

Response

Rationale

Calendar names are implementation-dependent, but typically take the form user@hostname, where user is a user's login name and hostname is the host machine name.
