Macromedia JRun 4

**Adobe JRun 4**, formerly **Macromedia JRun 4**, is a J2EE application server that was marketed by Macromedia and then Adobe Systems.

## Product history

JRun was originally developed in 1997 as a Java servlet engine by Live Software and purchased by Allaire in 1999. A working prototype of JRun 4 was first presented at the 2000 Allaire Developer Conference in Washington, D.C.
 Allaire was absorbed into Macromedia through a merger in 2001, and then acquired by Adobe Systems when it bought Macromedia in December 2005.

JRun 4 was included as a J2EE application server with Macromedia ColdFusion MX 7 and Adobe ColdFusion 8. Its latest patch Updater 7 was released by Adobe in 2007. Updater 7 added Sun JDK 1.6 support, Apache 2.2 support, Windows Vista/IIS7 support and Mac OS X 10.4 on Intel support.

### Discontinuation

Allaire announced at the 2000 Allaire Developer Conference that their product roadmap included a successor to JRun 4, codenamed "Trinity", which would support Simple Object Access Protocol and business-to-business integration services.

Adobe Systems announced that it would discontinue sales and new feature development of JRun on August 3, 2007. Adobe's ColdFusion development team continued to make updates to its underlying Java engine as required up to ColdFusion 9, but replaced JRun in favor of Apache Tomcat since ColdFusion 10.

PDF

The **Portable Document Format** (**PDF**) is a file format developed by Adobe Systems in the 1990s to present documents, including text formatting and images, in a manner independent of application software, hardware, and operating systems. Based on the PostScript language, each PDF file encapsulates a complete description of a fixed-layout flat document, including the text, fonts, vector graphics, raster images and other information needed to display it. PDF was standardized as ISO 32000 in 2008, and no longer requires any royalties for its implementation.

Today, PDF files may contain a variety of content besides flat text and graphics including logical structuring elements, interactive elements such as annotations and form-fields, layers, rich media (including video content) and three dimensional objects using U3D or PRC, and various other data formats. The PDF specification also provides for encryption and digital signatures, file attachments and metadata to enable workflows requiring these features.

Macromedia Shockmachine

**Shockmachine** is a runtime application from **Macromedia** to run Shockwave content offline without the need for a web browser. It works with the Macromedia Shockwave Player plugin.

## Product history

Shockmachine is a derivative of Macromedia Director Player and was used for the distribution and playback of Shockwave-based content developed with Macromedia Director, particularly games. Minimum requirements in 2000 were a PC running Windows 95 with at least an 8-bit graphics card, or a PowerPC-based Mac running at least Mac OS 7.6.1.

### Release

Shockmachine was announced at the 1999 Macromedia International User Conference in San Francisco on May 24 and was launched in the following summer. 7 games were included with Shockmachine in the form of digital "cartridges", each averaging about 300 KB. Additional games were made available through Shockwave.com. Features included unlimited save, enhanced playback and zoom and a personal entertainment center operated by **Shockwave Remote**, which was included with both Shockmachine as well as Shockwave Player 7. Shockmachine was available on a CD-ROM for US$19.99. It was soon repriced to $2.99 and later became a free download from the Shockwave website.

### Discontinuation

Adobe Systems shut down the website after its acquisition of Macromedia in December 2005. Adobe then began to rebrand all of Macromedia's products, such as Adobe Director and Adobe Shockwave. Adobe stopped selling Director on February 1, 2017. Support for Shockwave on Mac OS X ended on March 14, 2017. In February 2019, Adobe announced that all remaining support for Shockwave on Microsoft Windows would be officially discontinued, effective April 9, 2019.

Macromedia Flash Communication Server MX

**Macromedia Flash Communication Server MX** was the first version of Flash Media Server from Macromedia.

## Product history

Communication Server MX 1.0 was released in **Personal** and **Professional** editions in 2002, followed by MX 1.5 in 2003. It was renamed with the announcement of the public beta of Macromedia Flash Media Server 2 in September 2005.

Byte

A **byte** is a unit of data that typically consists of 8 bits. Historically, this reflected the amount of data required to store an ASCII value to represent one of up to 256 different characters of text.

## Variations

* A binary **kilobyte** (KiB) consists of 1,024 bytes ( 210 )
* A binary **megabyte** (MiB) consists of 1,024 kilobytes, or 1,048,576 bytes ( 220 )
* A binary **gigabyte** (GiB) consists of 1,024 megabytes, or 1,073,741,824 bytes ( 230 )
* A binary **terabyte** (TiB) consists of 1,024 gigabytes, or 1,099,511,627,776 bytes ( 240 )
* A binary **petabyte** (PiB) consists of 1,024 terabytes, or 1,125,899,906,842,624 bytes ( 250 )
* A binary **exabyte** (EiB) consists of 1,024 petabytes, or 1,152,921,504,606,846,976 bytes ( 260 )

Some companies, such as Apple in 2009, switched from using binary values to decimals, causing a "megabyte" to report 1,000,000 bytes instead of 1,048,576 bytes, as had been done in the past. This created an illusion of a slight increase in data capacity (memory and storage).

* A decimal **kilobyte** (kB) consists of 1,000 bytes ( 103 )
* A decimal **megabyte** (MB) consists of 1,000 kilobytes, or 1,000,000 bytes ( 106 )
* A decimal **gigabyte** (GB) consists of 1,000 megabytes, or 1,000,000,000 bytes ( 109 )
* A decimal **terabyte** (TB) consists of 1,000 gigabytes, or 1,000,000,000,000 bytes ( 1012 )
* A decimal **petabyte** (PB) consists of 1,000 terabytes, or 1,000,000,000,000,000 bytes ( 1015 )
* A decimal **exabyte** (EB) consists of 1,000 petabytes, or 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 bytes ( 1018 )

**Macromedia Flash Player 7** (codenamed *Mojo*) was released by Macromedia on September 10, 2003.

## New features

* Supports progressive audio and video streaming (HTTP).
* ActionScript 2.0 was introduced, providing an object-oriented programming language for developers. V2 Components replaced Flash MX's components, being rewritten from the ground up to take advantage of ActionScript 2.0 and formally adopt object-oriented principles.

SmartSketch

**SmartSketch** was an early vector-based graphics application from FutureWave Software that eventually evolved into Flash.

## Product history

Prior to working on SmartSketch, Jonathan Gay had developed another vector graphics program, IntelliDraw, at Silicon Beach Software. Silicon Beach was acquired by Aldus Corporation in 1990. Gay left Silicon Beach with co-founder Charlie Jackson to establish FutureWave in 1993.

Gay convinced Jackson to invest in a graphics application that would become SmartSketch for PenPoint OS to run on graphics tablets designed by GO Corporation. After AT&T Corporation acquired the rights to the EO Personal Communicator tablets only to discontinue it, Gay and Jackson discovered that they no longer had a viable market for SmartSketch and retooled it to be able to output animated content that could be played back from any web browser. This product became FutureSplash Animator.

FutureWave and its software were acquired by Macromedia in January 1997. FutureSplash then became known as Macromedia Flash.

Microsoft Windows

**Microsoft Windows**  is a series of graphical operating systems developed and marketed by Microsoft. Windows and Apple's macOS are the two major operating systems primarily supported by Adobe's software.

## History

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates visited and licensed technology from Xerox PARC, as Apple Computer co-founder Steve Jobs had done. Jobs also invited Bill Gates to preview the pre-release development of the Macintosh in 1983.

### Apple lawsuit

After Jobs was forced out and Microsoft had released Windows 2.0 with a graphical user interface that was more similar to the Mac, Apple Computer, under CEO John Sculley, filed a federal lawsuit in 1988 against Microsoft for infringing on its operating system. However, U.S. federal judge William Schwarzer dismissed several charges against Microsoft in 1995 after discovering that Sculley had signed off on a 1985 deal that had licensed parts of Macintosh technology to Microsoft. After Apple co-founder Steve Jobs returned to the company in late 1996, he negotiated an end to the lawsuits with Microsoft and agreed to cross-license technology between the two companies in exchange for Microsoft's commitment to continue developing software such as Microsoft Office for the Mac and an investment of $150 million in Apple non-voting stock to help keep it out of bankruptcy.

Microsoft

**Microsoft** is the developer and publisher of the Microsoft Windows operating system, one of the primary platforms upon which Adobe's applications are released. Microsoft's current CEO is Satya Nadella, who succeeded Steve Ballmer in 2014.

## History

Microsoft was founded on April 4, 1975 by Bill Gates and Paul Allen to develop a BASIC interpreter for the Altair 8800.

### Adobe and Microsoft

In 1996, Adobe Systems teamed up with Microsoft to develop OpenType as a successor to both the TrueType and Type 1 font formats.

When Adobe acquired rival developer Macromedia in December 2005, Bruce Chizen, the CEO of Adobe at the time, stated that it was "all about growth." However, the deal was also a defensive maneuver against Microsoft's influence, with Chizen saying, "They have a $40 billion monopoly with unlimited resources, I'll never not worry about them."

Adobe delivers its cloud services on Microsoft's Azure platform, while Adobe Marketing Cloud is Microsoft's preferred marketing platform for its Dynamics 365 enterprise services. The two companies also collaborate on the integration of the PDF standard in Microsoft Office 365.

PowerPC

**PowerPC** (short for **Performance Optimization With Enhanced RISC – Performance Computing**, sometimes abbreviated as "**PPC**") is a RISC architecture created by the 1991 Apple–IBM–Motorola alliance, also known as AIM. Originally intended for personal computers, PowerPC CPUs have since become popular as embedded and high-performance processors. As an evolving instruction set, PowerPC was renamed "**Power ISA**" in 2006, but lives on as a legacy trademark for some implementations of Power Architecture-based processors.

## History

PowerPC was the cornerstone of AIM's PReP and Common Hardware Reference Platform initiatives in the 1990s. It is well known for being used by Apple's Power Macintosh lines from 1994 to 2006. The architecture was also used in video game consoles (such as the Apple/Bandai Pippin, Sony's PlayStation 3, Microsoft's Xbox 360, and Nintendo's GameCube, Wii, and Wii U) and embedded applications that far exceeded Apple's use.

PowerPC is largely based on IBM's earlier POWER architecture, and retains a high level of compatibility with it; the architectures have remained close enough that the same programs and operating systems will run on both if some care is taken in preparation. Newer chips in the POWER series implement the full PowerPC instruction set. PowerPC also integrates some elements of Motorola's 88110, an earlier RISC processor that Apple had investigated in a research project called Jaguar.

## PowerPC native software

* Adobe Creative Suite 1 to 3
* After Effects 2.0.1 to CS3
* Adobe Illustrator 6.0 to CS3
* Adobe Photoshop 3.0 to CS3
* Adobe Premiere 4.2 to 6.5
* Adobe Type Manager 3.8 to 4.6.2

## PowerPC hardware in Macintosh computers

### 2nd generation

* PowerPC 603
* PowerPC 604
* Exponential X704 (the only PowerPC design from outside of the AIM alliance)

Apple's use of PowerPC processors was discontinued during its transition to Intel processors, which occurred while Macromedia was being acquired by Adobe Systems in 2005. Adobe Creative Suite 3 added support for multi-core Intel-based Macs, and Creative Suite 4 dropped support for PowerPC entirely.

SWF

**SWF** is the file format exported from professional versions of Adobe Flash for playback by Flash Player. The content can range from simple animations to complex applets and games with interactivity scripted in ActionScript. Source files from which SWF files are authored and generated are in **.fla** format.

## History

The file format originated at FutureWave Software as **.spl** files that could be played back with FutureSplash Player. The company was then acquired by Macromedia. FutureSplash then became Macromedia Flash. All versions of Flash Player are backwards compatible with the original .spl files.

The term "SWF" originated as an abbreviation for **Shockwave Flash**. The backronym **Small Web Format** has also been used to avoid confusion with a different technology, Shockwave, with which SWF is associated. There is no official resolution to the initialism "SWF" by Adobe, which acquired Macromedia in December 2005.

NeXT

**NeXT, Inc.**, later **NeXT Computer, Inc.** and **NeXT Software, Inc.**, was an American computer hardware and software company that was founded by Apple Computer co-founder Steve Jobs. Based in Redwood City, California, the company developed and manufactured a series of computer workstations for higher education and business markets.

## History

After being ousted from Apple in 1985, Jobs established NeXT and bought aboard several former co-workers. NeXT introduced the first NeXT Computer in 1988, and the smaller NeXTstation in 1990. The NeXT computers experienced relatively limited sales. However, their innovative object-oriented NeXTSTEP operating system and development environment (Interface Builder) were highly influential and became the foundation of macOS.

### Interactions with Adobe and Apple

Jobs was an early backer of technology from Adobe Systems and had Apple invest in the company and license Adobe PostScript for the Apple LaserWriter printer line.

After Jobs left Apple, he adopted Display PostScript as the on-screen graphics engine of the NeXTSTEP operating system. The integration of PostScript into the operating system allowed the NeXT Laser Printer and Color Printer to be significantly simpler and cheaper, while still maintaining speed and WYSIWYG accuracy in the printed output.

On December 20, 1996, Apple announced that it would acquire NeXT and Jobs was back at Apple. The NeXTSTEP operating system was adapted into Mac OS X, but it replaced Display PostScript with a new PDF-based imaging model called Quartz to avoid paying licensing fees to Adobe.

RoboHELP 1

**RoboHELP 1.0** was the first version of the RoboHelp authoring tool, released in January 1992 by Blue Sky Software.

## Features

RoboHELP functions appear as a customizable floating palette of tools in Microsoft Word for Windows. It generates RTF files of formatted source code that can support context-sensitive help with hypertext links and cross references for the Windows 3.x Help System.

## Product history

RoboHELP was created by Gen Kiyooka at San Diego-based Blue Sky Software, which first announced RoboHelp in October 1991 for US$350 and required Word for Windows 1.0 and at least one development environment (Microsoft SDK 3.0, Borland C++ 2.0, or Zortech C++ 3.0) to compile the source code into Windows help files. However, when it shipped in the following January, the price rose to $495 and minimum requirements were revised to specify at least Word for Windows 1.1.

Blue Sky Software filed for the "ROBOHELP" trademark with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on March 30, 1992. As RoboHELP became the flagship product of Blue Sky Software, the company changed its name to eHelp Corporation on April 4, 2000.
