I have now added two more documents to the collection of documents about 1456 object code and its applications on http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~ngo which is our family webspace here in England. 1456 object code allows users who may not have Java knowledge or Java facilities to obtain Java quality graphic output by programming in 1456 object code in 7 bit ascii printing characters using a text editor in an HTML file. These two latest documents are about a 1456 applet landscape called Dual1456. The working program may be accessed directly from the web using http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~ngo/Dual1456.htm and there are also notes about the system available from the index. It is an applet on a web page and thus safe to run with confidence. This program at start up looks the same as does the previously published demo7.htm customization of the Softboard1456.htm program. However, there is the additional facility that one can switch between two softboard toolbars. One starts with a softboard toolbar that has the characters for English and Esperanto and one can switch, by clicking near the top left corner of the background area of the applet, to a softboard toolbar that has Greek characters. One can return to the original English and Esperanto softboard toolbar by clicking again near the top left corner of the background area of the applet The resulting display can include characters obtained from both softboard toolbars. At start up the screen display looks exactly like the display from the demo7.htm file. A different 1456 applet landscape is used to support this process and it uses two 1456 engines, one for each of the two softboard toolbars, though this use of two 1456 engines, or even the use of 1456 object code at all, is not apparent to someone who is simply using the program. I have used English, Esperanto and Greek characters. The system is designed to be customizable using a text editor and using any printing unicode characters that can be expressed with four hexadecimal characters and for which the locally available fonts make provision.
