Ariel software is a product of Research Libraries Group in Palo Alto, California. It enables transmission of printed literature over the Internet from one Ariel Workstation to another. DocView is designed to be compatible with Ariel, so DocView can also receive documents sent by any Ariel Workstation. This method of transmission is very similar to fax, except that the Internet is the channel for communication, rather than a telephone company. DocView's built-in Windows Sockets software emulates Ariel protocols, and permits Ariel to easily access DocView in addition to other Ariel Workstations.
