5. The publication of this paper does not imply that IBM will develop tools based on the BC Prototyper architecture. It also does not imply that BC Prototyper will be supported with new versions of SanFrancisco. The version of BC Prototyper described here contains experimental new functionality, such as component support, which is not available in the version provided with SanFrancisco v 1.40. BC Prototyper is intended for evaluation, education, and simple prototyping use. For the development of production applications, other modeling tools should be used.
6. The oldest (and very successful) multinational corporation in history was the VOC (United Company for the East Indies), a trading company that existed from 1602 to 1799. In 1618, the VOC sent the ship "Nieuw-Hoorn," with Willem IJsbrandz ("IJ" is the Dutch way to write "Y") Bontekoe as captain, on a voyage to Batavia (now Jakarta) on the island of Java to trade silver for spices, tea, and coffee. Near the end of the voyage the ship exploded - the brandy caught fire and lit the gunpowder. Captain Bontekoe was saved and led about 70 men, in a small boat with sails made of clothing and almost no food or water, navigating by the stars, safely ashore. He wrote a book about this trip, which is still, 350 years later, the most famous travel adventure book in Holland.
