NEW! Corel® XMetaL® Central
Corel® XMetaL® Central is a server-based XML environment manager that simplifies the administration of customized XML applications across your organization.
Flexible and easy to use, it allows developers to quickly manage and deliver macros, DTDs, customizations and other related files to end users. And since deployment occurs behind the scenes, users can focus on their work—not on the underlying technology. Watch for more information in December on the entire line of Corel® XMetaL® tools.
