software Introducing GeX

This is a short introduction to the pilot release of GeX. GeX is the most rapidly evolving part of VTEX; more detailed documentation is available in the distribution of VTEX. This article specifically describes GeX as implemented in the public domain version of VTEX/Linux. While the same or additional features may be available in the commercial Windows version, we describe what exists in the freely downloadable version. For information on downloading VTEX/Linux see the NTG web site or the article in this MAPS issue.
