This paper presents xPPUC++ (Parallel Programming under Unix and C++), an object oriented development platform for the implementation of distributed applications within a distributed loosely coupled LAN or WAN environment. It was designed in order to support the transformation of existing one-processor based applications, written in C or C++, into distributed ones by enclosing the code in object capsules. It therefore offers some minor extensions to the language C++ and exploits its object oriented features for a transparent implementation of distributed programs. Moreover it offers some extensions regarding the notion of persistent objects to include existing server systems (long-living data bases, communication facilities) and network-wide browsing of reusable and extensible software modules. Thus, application builders can tailor their distributed software from these sources.
