CD-ROM Internet Link
WEBLINK - connect your CD-ROM to your website
WEBLINK is an internet/CD-ROM linkage solution available for
licensing by hardware and software companies.
WEBLINK in its simplest form provides easy access to the Internet
from within a software product. More sophisticated features
support an encrypted file format which allows commands and files
to be transferred from the Internet to the user's system.
Establishing an Internet link is as easy as clicking a button.
WEBLINK identifies all browsers installed on the customer's hard
drive and displays a popup selection list. Launched browsers jump
to a preset URL of your choosing or recognize the customer's
previously defined home page. Browsers are configured 'on the fly'
to recognize and process the WEBLINK MIME type. Data files of all
types can be downloaded and configured on your customer's system
automatically or via HTML hyperlink: program EXEs, data files,
MCI (multimedia) and program commands.
Imagine linking to the Internet from your software and automatically
launching cd-rom or hard drive based video or audio upon entry to
your web page! Refresh and extend the life of your products by
downloading new content! Change the way your software programs
execute or provide fixes by downloading new EXE's!
