New Release

DynaWeb

DynaWeb is a World-Wide Web (Web) publishing tool that serves DynaText electronic book collections to Web clients like Mosaic and Netscape for rapid browsing and searching.

The two objectives of DynaWeb are:

• to enable remote Web browsers to fully exploit the features of DynaText
• to do this in a way that is easy for publishers to set up and maintain

Silicon Graphics are now bundling EBT's DynaWeb large document server as a standard feature with all desktop systems. Silicon Graphics is also using DynaWeb to publish existing SGML-based IRIS InSight product manuals on its "Silicon Surf" Web site for viewing by any Web browser. Bundling DynaWeb with all workstations ensures that the Web delivery option is available to all IRIS InSight Professional Publishers.

DynaWeb also allows large publishers to store and manage documents in SGML format and re-target the information to the latest version of HTML with minimal effort.

DynaWeb server software currently runs on the following platforms:

• Silicon Graphics IRIX 5.x
• Solaris 2.x
• HPUX 9.x
