The PM-PROXY System

A Presentation Manager Proxy Executable


The Purpose:

The PM-PROXY System is designed to provide a PM-based surrogate executable which can be successfully started by IBM's Web Explorer, accept the filename parameter, and then, in turn, properly initiate an external viewing session with pre-configured parameters (incorporating the filename parameter).

PM-PROXY is primarily intended to provide a workaround to two WE/2 problems, namely the ability to use non-native OS/2 external viewers and to provide a more flexible parameter passing format. PM-PROXY also has some value when used in conjunction with the Windows-based NetScape Web Browser, as NetScape's parameter passing system has the same parameter problem.
