DATMAN TECHNICAL BULLETIN #019
From: Kan Yabumoto tech@datman.com
To: Those interested in the DDS technology
Subject: The DDS standards, where to find the spec.
Date: 1997-03-18
====================================================================
Every so often, we receive inquiries about the DDS standard.
Here are two of the key standards.
1) The DDS recording
2) The DCLZ compression algorithm
Both of these are similarly adopted by ANSI and ECMA which also
go to ISO, so the three organizations have pretty much identical
standards (written nearly identically). The following are a
list of related literature. We do not have web page pointers.
But, it should be easy to locate on the Web.
