NAME
visobliq - Visual Obliq: programming environment for distributed applications

SYNTAX
visobliq

DESCRIPTION
Visual Obliq is a programming environment for multi-user applications, expressed in the Obliq language.

In the Visual Obliq model, a distributed session is started by loading an application into an Obliq interpreter. This creates a session with a certain unique public name. Users running interpreters at other sites can connect to the session via the session-name. The act of joining a session causes the appropriate client code and user interface specification to migrate to the client's address-space and run there.

All the above activities can be supported and coordinated within the World-Wide Web framework. A Visual Obliq program may be regarded as a document with an appropriate MIME type. The text of an application is disseminated as a MIME-encapsulated document by a Visual Obliq gateway (vocgi).

For more information, find Luca or Marc Brown.
