How to start app's from within a browser? - TheTom (the.tom@usa.net), 12.7.97-19:43:46
Hi all,

I have the following problem: I am told to
create a system of HTML pages that can
be used as a 'launche site' for our software
package. Meaning: There is a link to application
A and if you click it the app A starts up at
the client system (!).

Client software is Netscape and I am running
an Apache under Solaris as server. I am not
allowed to use Java-Script. Java is also
forbidden cause the clients run under Win311
(16bit so).

My first idea was to set up specific mime types
for each application and configure the clients
to launch the correct application. But I consider
this brute force... anyone who has a better [less
brute ;) ] idea?

tia
TheTom
