-“Wildform Flix Pro 3.0″
by Michael Hurwicz
“Flix Pro beats the built-in video compression in Flash MX…producing smaller, better quality files…The video import function in Flash MX, based on a Sorensen Spark codec, produced dramatically inferior results…A more interesting question is how Flix Pro compares with Sorenson Squeeze…On the basic quality-versus-file-size question, the two products are competitive…[but] I wasn’t able to produce a SWF file With Sorensen Squeeze that was sufficiently close to the 500KB file from Flix Pro”

LDAP version 3 and Microsoft’s Active Directory will help NDS tie people and networks together.Byte January 1998 Cover Store — link is a reference and excerpt
LDAP version 3 and Microsoft’s Active Directory will help NDS tie people and networks together.
The big news will be the release of Microsoft’s Active Directory, the company’s first attempt at extensible, scalable, enterprise-level directory services. Some beta copies were released in 1997, but final shipment is due later in the year with NT Server 5.0. Given the complexities of impleme nting enterprise directory services, organizations committed to networking NT should start experimenting with Active Directory as soon as possible. Novell-oriented shops will also have their hands full, checking out Novell Directory Services (NDS) for NT (scheduled for release soon) and versions from IBM (for the RS/6000 running AIX, and for S/390 mainframes), as well as from Unix vendors, including Sun, the Santa Cruz Operation (SCO), HP, and Unisys. For many, this will also be the year to start serious testing of the Lightweight Directory Access P rotocol (LDAP).
