WWW/LX is a product made of two main programs, each with a specific "specialization". WWW.EXE is the program which performs all the communication tasks. It knows how to use the TCP/IP and HTTP protocols, which are used on the internet and the Web. It will use the serial ports to communicate through a modem to an Internet Service Provider (ISP), establish a connection by using a script of commands, and establish a PPP or SLIP type of connection.

This program then starts up other programs and serves them by obtaining information from the Internet or the Web. This is why we call this program a "server". The other programs, which are served by WWW.EXE are called "client" programs.

One of these client programs is HV.EXE. It tells WWW.EXE which Web documents to obtain from the Web. WWW.EXE performs this request, and passes the information to HV.EXE. This "client" program specializes in interpreting HTML tags and formatting textual and graphical information on the Palmtop screen. (You are now using this program to read this text...)

Here is a small image: WWW/LX Icon and here is a larger image: WWW/LX GIF

The small image is an unusual addition to HV, in that it can also display Palmtop icons. The larger image is a GIF image.

HV can also use an external viewer program such as LXPIC or CSHOW to display JPEGs.

The following images are "thumbnail" versions of pictures displayed by HV from the Web by using WWW/LX. Highlight an image (it will show in negative color), and press Enter. HV will display the full screen version of the "thumbnail" picture.

Lastly, here is a demonstration of how you would use the AltaVista Search Engine input screens. You can enter the infor as you would in the real screen, using the TAB key to move from one field to the next. Of course, you cannot actually submit this search request, because you need WWW.EXE, the communication program. Press Enter here to start a search.
