Notes:

We are using NCSA Mosaic as an auxiliary display client within MOO. Out of band commands make requests of the MOO client to display urls using Mosaic. A direct Web interface exists as well, which can be connected to using only a web client. This package of MOO code runs with the Oct93 LambdaCore and is available via a license agreement with Caltech. An example of a data service using this method is the Infrared Sky Atlas Postage Stamp Server. Finally, work is continuing on an in-moo html parser which reads html and constructs a list of html elements which then can be manipulated for display or other purposes.
