Telescript Reference Manual

Beta documentation release: 6/25/96

Copyright © 1996 General Magic, Inc.

The general idea of a remote programming language is in the public domain. Anyone is free to formulate his or her own expression of this idea by devising a unique language structure, syntax and vocabulary. However, General Magic exercised a great deal of original expression when choosing the structure, syntax and vocabulary of the Telescript language. Therefore, General Magic believes that it owns the copyright in the structure, syntax and vocabulary of the Telescript programming language. General Magic believes that no one else can create a Telescript language interpreter without violating its copyright. General Magic is also seeking patent protection on some of the novel inventions in the Telescript architecture and software agent functionality. Finally, General Magic owns the trademark "Telescript," which has been registered in the U.S. and many other jurisdictions. General Magic uses the "Telescript" trademark to identify General Magic's Telescript software.

General Magic wants to promote the use of the Telescript language as an enabling technology for creating "smart" networks. Therefore, we have an open, non-discriminatory policy on licensing our Telescript software for research and development, and commercial purposes. We also encourage you to write programs in the Telescript language. Feel free to incorporate any of the sample programs contained in this document into your programs.

General Magic, the General Magic logo, the Magic Cap logo, the Telescript logo, Magic Cap, Telescript, and the A rabbit-from-a-hat logo are trademarks of General Magic, and may be registered in certain jurisdictions. All other trademarks and service marks are the property of their respective owners.
