Does anyone know if netscape has CCI capabilities.
I have heard that CCI (Common Communications Interface) gives
Mosaic the ability to interact with external
running C applications. I want to run external software
by clicking on the flow diagram in the browser. but I don't
want to limit the user to Mosaic only.
Does any one know how to do this in netscape using the
client side only. I must do this without a server for security.
( Note CCI Not CGI)
Any pointers appreciated
Thanks,

No. I have never heard of "CCI" with Netscape.

ps. What kind of crack are you smoking!?!?!?!

I noticed you posted to eleven groups, not one
of them bearing the slightest relationship to
your question. Try 'comp.infosystems.www.browsers.misc'
instead. I've even helped you out be setting
followups there.

-- Try the "NETSCAPE OPERATING SYSTEM-SPECIFIC CLIENT APIS" (NCAPIs for
short). With these, you can remotely control netscape (is this what you
want ?).

Perhaps what you are looking for is the NSAPI in Netscape. I believe
there is a way of writing your own routines and having the server access
them.
