Ex.2 a) Read and translate into Russian:

In the Windows and other operating systems, DDE allows information to be shared or communicated between programs. For example, when you change a form in your database program or a data item in a spreadsheet program, they can be set up to also change these forms or items anywhere they occur in other programs you may use. DDE is interprocess communication that uses shared memory as a common exchange area and provides applications with a protocol or set of commands and message formats. DDE uses a client/server model in which the application requesting data is considered the client and the application providing data is considered the server.

b) Answer the following questions:

1. What does DDE stand for?

2. What happens if you change a form in your database program or a data item in a spreadsheet program?

3. What does DDE provide applications with?

4. What kind of model does DDE use?

Ex.4 a) Read and translate into Russian:

OLE is a method for sharing information among applications. Linking an object, such as a graphic, from one document to another inserts a reference (ссылка) to the object into the second document. Any changes you make in the object in the first document will also be made in the second document. Embedding an object inserts a copy of an object from one document into another document. Changes you make in the object in the first document will not be updated in the second unless the embedded object is explicitly updated.

b) Make up sentences:

1. Multiple, contain, types, OLE documents, of data.

2. OLE, visually, be, can, objects, edited.
