“Applix, Inc. (NASDAQ:APLX), a leader in decision support
applications for Linux and Unix workstations, today launched its
first Open Source initiative with Applix SHELF, an embeddable,
full-featured programming language for use with the Applixware
office suite. With SHELF added to Applixware’s Extension Language
Facility (ELF), application developers will be able to increase
customization and extensibility of their applications by embedding
Applixware language in their products.”

distributions of Linux, including Red Hat, SuSE, Caldera, and
Slackware. They are also available for Sun, IBM, Compaq, and
