Foil 46 Tango has many Applications

From Pictorial View of Tango Features with tutorial SIGGRAPH 98 Orlando -- July 19-23 98. by Geoffrey C. Fox


Tango has lots of applications ranging from the serious to the frivolous; from the essentially bug-free to cases which are only illustrative due to implementation problems.
Tango has a well defined API which allows diverse applications to be ported to it.
For instance, the current release of Tango sports three versions of chat.
  • Each of these can be invoked any number of times.
  • They have different tradeoffs from the serious dull text only version to the cool 2.5D graphical version which is cool (to a K-12 audience) but perhaps not the most efficient (to our busy executive)
