OmniMark ActiveX VM is an encapsulation of the OmniMark run-time as an ActiveX component. OmniMark ActiveX VM is packaged as part of OmniMark Concurrent Processing Engine, OmniMark Single Processing Engine, and OmniMark Studio for Eclipse.
You can write and compile OmniMark programs using OmniMark Studio for Eclipse, or use OmniMark Desktop Compiler or OmniMark Batch Compiler to compile. OmniMark Studio for
Eclipse, OmniMark Desktop Compiler and OmniMark Batch Compiler can
compile OmniMark source code into byte code which is executed by OmniMark ActiveX VM. Compiled OmniMark programs
have the extension
.xvc
. .xvc
files are platform-independent: that is, they can be run by OmniMark ActiveX VM on all supported
platforms.
You install OmniMark ActiveX VM by running the OmniMark installer. When prompted for the type of installation, choose a custom installation: you will then be able to check the optional OmniMark ActiveX VM component along with other selections. You will be guided through the installation and licensing process.
OmniMark ships with a number of external function libraries. Your OmniMark programs can call functions in these libraries. You can also write your own external function libraries or obtain them from third parties.
When searching for external function libraries, OmniMark ActiveX VM searches in the following order:
