The Version 6 adds BizSnap, a tool to build Web Services using XML/SOAP, .NET, and BizTalk from Microsoft, and SunONE from Sun Microsystems. Other new components include WebSnap for Web application development, DataSnap for database development, and CLX, which allows cross-platform development for Unix and Linux. The new NetCLX Internet components allow development of cross-platform applications with Apache, Microsoft IIS, and Netscape Web Server applications.
