Now for the easy part. Once the runtime is installed on the local machine and set up as a helper application or viewer in the browser, users just start their browser and visit your Web site. Since your application was included as a hyperlink, users simply click the highlighted text or image associated with the hyperlink to invoke your COBOL program.
The browser recognizes ACUCOBOL-GT object files, invokes the ACUCOBOL-GT runtime as a helper application, and runs your application on the end user's machine. The application runs just as if the user had invoked it directly on his local machine, using the full screen and ACUCOBOL-GT user interface. The browser continues to run in the background.
