KCMS Multithreaded Programming
The Kodak Color Management System (KCMS) software product is a color
management solution that ensures color consistency from input devices to output
devices. It is technology licensed from Eastman Kodak that was developed in
conjunction with SunSoft.
KCMS now supports multithreaded programs: it is multithread safe (MT-safe). If
your KCMS application uses multithread capabilities, you do not need to put locks
around KCMS library calls.
For more information, see KCMS Application Developer’s Guide.

X11 Double Buffer Extension
The Double Buffer Extension (DBE) provides a standard way to use double-buffering
within the framework of the X Window System. Double-buffering uses two buffers,
called “front” and “back,” that hold images. The front buffer is visible to the user;
the back buffer is not. A detailed specification is available via an internet browser in
ftp://ftp.x.org/pub/DOCS/DBE/.
