Abstract
A method of installing a first self-contained data handling application to operate with a second, previously installed, self-contained data handling application having at least one call routine which is executed when the second data handling application is operated, is described. The method comprises a) determining the presence of the second data handling application and, if it is present, b) generating a link to a software routine provided by, and utilizing when executed, the first data handling application, which will be executed by the call routine in the second data handling application.
Claims9
A method of installing a first self-contained data handling application to operate with a second, previously installed, self-contained data handling application having at least one call routine which is executed when the second data handling application is operated, the method comprising:
- a) determining the presence of the second data handling application and, if it is present,
- b) generating a link to a software routine provided by, and utilizing when executed, the first data handling application, which will be executed by the call routine in the second data handling application.
A database system comprising first and second self-contained data handling applications, the second data handling application having at least one call routine which is executed when the second data handling application is operated, the call routine causing a software routine provided by, and utilizing, the first data handling application, to be executed.
A computer program product including code defining a first self-contained data handling application for use with a second self-contained data handling application having at least one call routine which is executed when the second data handling application is operated;
- and code defining installation software for:
- a) determining the presence of the second data handling application and, if it is present,
- b) generating a link to a software routine provided by, and utilizing when executed, the first data handling application, which will be executed by the call routine in the second data handling application.
