Editing OpenDoc (section)

===Products===
After three years of development on OpenDoc itself, the first OpenDoc-based product release was Apple's [[CyberDog]] [[web browser]] in May 1996. The second was on August 1, 1996, of IBM's two packages of OpenDoc components for OS/2, available on the Club OpenDoc website for a 30 day free trial: the Person Pak is "components aimed at organizing names, addresses, and other personal information", for use with [[personal information management]] (PIM) applications, at {{US$|long=no|229}}; and the Table Pak "to store rows and columns in a database file" at {{US$|long=no|269}}. IBM then anticipated the release of 50 more components by the end of 1996.<ref name="IBM ships first">{{cite magazine| title=IBM ships first batch of OpenDoc components | first=Sharon | last=Gaudin | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=rrz6PIR7f0oC&pg=PT116 | magazine=Computerworld | date=July 29, 1996 | access-date=July 17, 2019 | page=14}}</ref>

The WAV [[word processor]] is a semi-successful OpenDoc [[word processor]] from Digital Harbor LLC. The Numbers & Charts package is a spreadsheet and 3D real-time charting solution from Adrenaline Software. Lexi from Soft-Linc, Inc. is a linguistic package containing a spell checker, thesaurus, and a simple translation tool which WAV and other components use. The [[Nisus Writer]] software by Nisus incorporated OpenDoc, but its implementation was hopelessly buggy. [[Bare Bones Software]] tested the market by making its [[BBEdit Lite]] freeware text editor available as an OpenDoc editor component. [[RagTime (software)|RagTime]], a completely integrated office package with spreadsheet, publishing, and image editing was ported to OpenDoc shortly before OpenDoc was cancelled. Apple's 1996 release of ClarisWorks 5.0 (the predecessor of [[AppleWorks]]) was planned to support OpenDoc components, but this was dropped.

Another OpenDoc container application, called Dock'Em, was written by MetaMind Software under a grant from the [[National Science Foundation]] and commissioned by The Center for Research in Math and Science Education, headquartered at [[San Diego State University]]. The goal was to allow multimedia content to be included in documents describing curriculum.

Several [[physics]] [[simulation]]s were written by MetaMind Software and by Russian software firm Physicon ([[OpenTeach]]) as OpenDoc parts.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://gregmaletic.wordpress.com/2006/11/12/opendoc/#comment-368 | title=OpenDoc - Comment by Arni McKinley | author=Arni McKinley | date=December 19, 2006 | work=Greg Maletic's Blog | access-date=April 8, 2008}}</ref> Physics curricula for high school and middle school focused on them. With the discontinuation of OpenDoc, the simulations were rewritten as Java [[applet]]s and published from the Center as The Constructing Physics Understanding (CPU) Project by Dr. Fred Goldberg.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://cpuproject.sdsu.edu/default.html|title=Constructing Physics Understanding|last=The CPU Project|date=February 2001|publisher=San Diego State University|access-date=April 9, 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080509181557/http://cpuproject.sdsu.edu/default.html|archive-date=May 9, 2008|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Components of the E-Slate educational microworlds platform were originally implemented as OpenDoc parts in [[C++]] on both MacOS and Windows, reimplemented later (after the discontinuation of OpenDoc) as [[Java applets]] and eventually as [[JavaBeans]].
