About a week ago I added to our family webspace at http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~ngo some documents concerning 1456 object code, (in speech, please say "fourteen fifty-six object code"), which is an object code intended primarily for use in the preparation of free to the end user distance education material. 1456 object code permits a person who need not be a Java programmer, or who does not necessarily have Java programming facilities available, to produce Java quality graphics output in applets, using specially prepared Java programs called 1456 applet landscapes and a 1456 engine. Each use of the system requires the use of a 1456 applet landscape selected from those available, the 1456 engine and an HTML page to call the applet and to supply the applet with parameters. The 1456 object code is used to customize the 1456 applet landscape using one or more parameter statements in an HTML page. The 1456 object code can be entered using a text editor, such as Notepad. I have now added an additional document entitled "Character manipulation in the 1456 object code system." 1456 object code allows unicode characters to be entered and manipulated and so I thought that readers of this list might be interested to know about it.
