Interactive Web Page Development

---

This area is home to experimental services and proof-of-concept programs that interact with the user via a web browser. Programs here are tested with the VMTH browser of choice: Netscape Navigator, but most should work with Internet Explorer and CyberDog as well. Different programs here use Java, Javascript and Style Sheets (which require browsers capable of understanding those conventions). CGIs here are mostly written in PERL, with the occasional C++ compiled binary popping up at odd times. Also expect a few other odds and ends to pop up here from time to time.

Some CGIs are restricted to computers in our domain, others are restricted via username and password. This is both to test restriction capabilites and to protect CGIs that deal with information not relevant to outside users.
