This enhanced version of Arranger also increases performance support for Windows 95. Arranger, a companion product to Texas Instruments See TI. (company) Texas Instruments - (TI) A US electronics company. A TI engineer, Jack Kilby invented the integrated circuit in 1958. Three TI employees left the company in 1982 to start Compaq. Software's Composer family of enterprise application development tools, is the first tool to connect desktop applications with applications built using Composer, securely extending the reach of departmental and workgroup developers to enterprise business systems. Arranger 1.1 includes a new integration assistant that enables PowerBuilder users to develop true multi-platform distributed applications An application made up of distinct components running in separate runtime environments, usually on different platforms connected via a network. Typical distributed applications . By accessing Composer-generated servers, users can design complex enterprise server applications and easily integrate them with PowerBuilder clients. In addition, Arranger 1.1 delivers enhanced support for Windows 95 by providing a new 32-bit in-process server An executable program that runs as a service to another program rather than stand alone. COM objects and DLLs are examples. Contrast with out-of-process server. , which allows client applications to run with maximum performance.
