! 18: In addition top the basic W3C Reference Library include file called
! 19: <A HREF="WWWLib.html">WWWLib.h</A> you <EM>can</EM> also include this file
! 20: called WWWApp.h depending on the needs of your application. However, it is
! 21: not required and none of the files included below are ever used in the core
! 22: part of the Library itself. Only if this file is included, the extra modules
! 23: will get included in the linked object code. It is also possible to include
! 24: only a subset of the files below if the functionality you are after is covered
! 25: by them.

2.11 frystyk 39: The <A HREF="sysdep.html">sysdep.h</A> file includes system-specific include
2.12 ! eric 40: files and flags for I/O to network and disk. The only reason for this file
! 41: is that the Internet world is more complicated than Posix and ANSI.

! 48: <P>
! 49: This module provides some "make life easier" functions in order to get the
! 50: application going. They help you generate the first anchor, also called the
! 51: <EM>home anchor</EM>. It also contains a nice set of default WWW addresses.

! 58: <P>
! 59: You can register a set of callback functions to handle user prompting, error
! 60: messages, confimations etc. Here we give a set of functions that can be used
! 61: on almost anu thinkable platform. If you want to provide your own platform
! 62: dependent implementation then fine :-)

! 67: Registering Requests
! 68: </H2>
! 69: <P>
! 70: The library core does not provide an event model. Instead the application
! 71: must register methods to register and unregister requests. This module provides
! 72: those methods so that simple apps, like the LineMode browser, may use this
! 73: event model.

! 77: After Terminating a Request
! 78: </H2>
! 79: <P>
! 80: When a request is terminated, the application often has to do some action
! 81: as a result of the request (and of the result of the request). The Application
! 82: part of the Library provides two following modules to handle <EM>logging</EM>
! 83: and <EM>history management</EM>. You can register a <EM>POST request
! 84: handler</EM> in the <A HREF="HTNet.html">Net Manager</A> as described in
! 85: the <A HREF="../User/Using/Overview.html">User's Guide</A>.
! 86: <P>
! 87: You can find a function called <CODE>HTLoadTerminate</CODE> in the
! 88: <A HREF="HTHome.html">HTHome module</A> that enables all the functionality
2.4 frystyk 89: for handling a request result.

! 91: Logging
! 92: </H3>
! 93: <P>
! 94: Often it is required to log the requests issued to the Library. This can
! 95: either be the case if the application is a server or it can also be useful
! 96: in a client application. This module provides a simple logging mechanism
! 97: which can be enabled if needed.

! 102: History Management
! 103: </H3>
! 104: <P>
! 105: Another type of logging is keeping track of which documents a user has visited
! 106: when browsing along on the Web. The Library history manager provides a basic
! 107: set of functionality to keep track of a linear history list.
