The O-Matrix Development Kit
Overview
The O-Matrix Development Kit provides the tools, examples, and a special license for building stand-alone and turnkey systems for use with the O-Matrix Virtual Machine . Applications that are built with the O-Matrix Development Kit may be freely distributed without royalty restrictions with the O-Matrix Virtual Machine that is provided with the Development Kit License .

Creating Distributions
There are several techniques for creating applications with the Development Kit.

Creating O-Matrix Source-Code Solutions
Applications implemented completely in O-Matrix can be executed by the O-Matrix VM by giving the name of your application file as an argument to the O-Matrix VM on startup. For example, if your application is named c:\temp\myapp.oms, and in the VM installation directory you enter
omwin c:\temp\myapp.oms
the O-Matrix VM will start and immediately begin your application. You can create Windows shortcuts to automate this startup or use the O-Matrix VM Application Launcher to browse and start VM-based applications.

Creating O-Matrix Pcode/Binary Solutions
Applications can be distributed in binary pcode form. Binary pcode distributions provide a simpler way to distribute large, multi-file applications, cause your application to startup significantly faster than in source code form, and enable you to distribute your application without including proprietary source.

Creating Visual Basic, C++, and Other COM Solutions
COM-based solutions using Visual Basic, C++, or other COM client building tools enable you to mix O-Matrix solutions with other technologies and provide additional alternatives for user interface development. For example, you can use Visual Basic to build a specialized, or domain specific interface that interacts with your end user, and then call O-Matrix as a background process to perform data analysis. Or, if you have a specialized library of compiled language routines, (C, C++, FORTRAN, etc.), you can create solutions that use your library routines and O-Matrix functionality.
