A sender email client, in response to a request to send an email with attachment, determines whether a recipient of the email has distributed storage separate from an incoming email server of the recipient for storing email attachments. If so, a location server is consulted for the distributed storage's network address and its availability is determined. The send request is then serviced accordingly. An email service, in response to receiving an email with attachment, determines whether a recipient of the email has distributed storage for storing email attachments. If so, its network address and availability are likewise determined. The attachments are forwarded to the recipient's distributed storage for storage, when it becomes available. An email recipient client, in response to a request to access an email attachment, retrieves the attachment from the recipient's distributed storage or the incoming email server, as appropriate.

An object-oriented document architecture provides system level support for document processing features from within an active document utilizing a novel technique termed a proxy. A proxy integrates external document management functions simultaneously and seamlessly into the standard operating system document processing commands. The system utilizes a revolutionary object-oriented framework system to provide an interface facilitating document access and editing functions from within a document or other active application.

An object-oriented printing system includes objects that provide query, data transfer, and control methods. The inventive object-oriented printing system communicates with the remainder of the operating system by means of a standard interface such as a grafport and printer drivers are provided for each printer type within the operating system. Thus, an application not only need not worry about the particular printer/computer combination with which it is to operate, but also need not have a built in document formatting capability. The printing system includes objects that provide queries for device identification, optimized imaging, and printer status. Other objects are also provided for data transfer to bracket connections prior to sending and receiving information. Still other objects are provided for cancelling a print job, pausing a job, and clearing out a job. Finally, an object is also provided for supporting multiple streams of communication to an imaging task.

A system and method provide a cursor tool framework and tool server with support for multiple cursors on any given system, and supports the selection of a cursor tool utilizing a cursor. The framework and server facilitate the association of cursor tools to a cursor in a process independent space such that tools can be used cross-process and cross-document. The framework also provides default functionality for communication among cursor tools and the canvas on which they are used. This high degree of interaction allows any cursor tool and any document to function together such that the cursor tool can be written without the knowledge of the document developer.

An operating system software architecture, implemented in an object-oriented design, supports and processes color. The object-oriented design has two levels, one being a class (TColor) defining a virtual abstract base class and being a container class containing calibrated colors, the other being a class (TDeviceColor) defining a virtual abstract base class and a container class containing uncalibrated colors. Several calibrated color classes including a class (TXYZColor) defining XYZ color space descend directly from class (TColor), several uncalibrated color classes including a class (TRGBColor) descending directly from class (TDeviceColor), a class (TColorGamut) storing color gamut information of peripheral devices that may interface with the architecture, and a class (TColorProfile) storing tonal reproduction curves of the peripheral devices provide data structures, together with method functions for various color processing. The architecture is extensible to add new color classes as new color models and devices are developed, to add new color matching algorithms as desired, allows users to work in color space of their choice, and provides for color matching amongst any peripheral devices interfacing with the architecture.
