The new B9 release of Waba (Java-based) allows a user to call
Vm.exec("Clipper", "http://www.mysite.com", 54, true);
Which starts the Clipper w/ the URL, there is no implementation of a
"WirelessSocket" class *yet* (Probably in 1.0 final release). I find it VERY easy
to use and program and Ive already written 3 organizer programs based on it. The
one class that is a big + is the ObjectCatalog which allows the storage of Java
objects directly to a database. Also the new implementation allows for multiple
Warp (PDB) files which means you can pack multiple resources and even shared
libraries (in Java), text files, animation files, images, etc. It's so much further
along than Sun's KVM I think.
What you describe to want to do can be (and would probably have to be) completely
implemented on the server side, I have seen FTP utilities (for saving text files -
and even doing transfer scripts) and a Telnet program somewhere, I beleive someone
on the PQA-Dev forum has designed it.
