OK, OK.
RTF is Microsoft's
SQL is IBM's
_javascript_ is Netscape's (Jscript is Microsoft's knockoff, beware)
HTML, CSS and their children are from W3C (Worldwide Web Consortium)
XML?
PostScript is Apple's (really a FORTH derivative, huh?)
PDF is Adobe's.
Word, XSL, etc. are from Microsoft.
and ... Open Document Formats are from Sun
Do not, I mean DO NOT ever use such formats because larger corporations are
involved in them, created them, sometimes violate their own standards. Make
everything completely original and thus maintain complete personal control.
No one else will want to read the thing anyway :-)
