interface for a Web-based search engine and full control over
how search results are displayed using Aqua. Everything required
to develop a channel is provided in the Sherlock Channel SDK including
technical documentation, a sample channel, a Project Builder template,
and an Interface Builder Sherlock palette. [Nov 14 2002] |
