I'm not sure I agree that users using the JHS front end should be assumed to be connected to the internet. JHS may well be just served from the local machine that is not connected to the internet in the same way that users may use the jwd and jconsole sessions currently. I.e. The JHS/browser is just acting as session for a local instance of J. My impression is that it wouldn't be too difficult to build on the current media/platimg addon to provide the cross-platform (non wd) support for creating png images for the jhs client. This would enable offline use of jhs with plotting and viewmat etc as well as improving performance/functionality for servers providing content to multiple clients via the web. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
