A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.


Title : Universal Forms Description Language Specification
Version 3.2
Author(s) : D. Manning, R. Bennett, J. Boyer,
S. McLellan, M. Mansell
Filename : draft-gordon-ufdl-spec-00.txt
Pages : 148
Date : 31-Jul-97

The Universal Forms Description Language (UFDL) describes complex
business forms for use over the Internet. The objective of the UFDL
is to enable the creation of cross-platform Internet business forms
that (1) contain both the complex logic and precise layout that
administrators require, (2) are simple to maintain and distribute,
and (3) integrate easily with existing business systems. As more
and more business is done over the Internet, the need for a form
description language that incorporates these features grows. HTML
is designed for Internet pages, and is severely limited as a form
language. This document specifies the vocabulary, syntax, and
meaning of the UFDL.

Send a message to: mail...@ds.internic.net. In the body type:
'FILE /internet-drafts/draft-gordon-ufdl-spec-00.txt'.

NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the 'mpack' utility. To use this
feature, insert the command 'ENCODING mime' before the 'FILE'
command. To decode the response(s), you will need 'munpack' or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
'multipart' MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.


Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
