Interface

The same interface is used to expose the functionalities of the utilities. This way you can write utilities can be access by different applications, and application can provide launching mechanism for utilities regardless whether they are implemented yet or not. Utilities can also take advantage of the common Filter Interface mechanism to cater to a single type of input, but support all filters that expose such interface.

The interface is also exposed as a COM interface. This allow you to use the utilities in any application that supports COM/ActiveX, for example Microsoft Word or Excel, or in JavaScript, or VBScript.

For more information about the interface, see the Okapi Interfaces pages.
