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.
