Thanks for that, but I think my question was put wrongly at the outset. I
think what I meant to ask was, what is the underlying programming tool
(specifically for the User Agent Layer) that can be used to create a WAP
client(i.e. microbrowser)? I see from Nokia's website that their client's
based on a C implementation. I hope this is not an unfair question in terms
of the scope of this forum, but I'm just interested in learning more about
underlying technology.
