If you want customers or users to be able to run your applications by clicking a link on your Web site, one way to accomplish this is to set up the ACUCOBOL-GT runtime as an Internet helper application or viewer.
To do this, you set up a Web page (which is simply an HTML document) with a link to the ACUCOBOL-GT object file to be run.
You then instruct your users to purchase a copy of the ACUCOBOL-GT runtime and install it as a helper application in their browser.
Your users could then launch your application directly from your Web page. The application will run on the local machine as usual, or in combination with programs running remotely on a server machine using AcuConnect for remote application services. You also have choice of where the data resides. Remote data access requires the use of AcuServer remote file services.
Like Option 1, this option takes advantage of existing applications and is easy to implement. You must have some knowledge of HTML or use an HTML authoring tool to create a Web site. Once you set up your Web site and object file link, you're done.
