Access: gain access to the browser screen.

See this page? Open it in a new window, without the other frames and look at the URL. See? This file is on the server as a gzipped file. It is expanded by the browser. This way, I can store a lot more data on my webspace and the files load a lot faster. This page is called 'test.html.gz'. Some older browsers (especially the MicroSoft kind) will refuse to open the page and offer to download it.

While running tests with compiled CGI executables, I couldn't get text in the browser screen in a reliable way. So I had to revert to:

and the result is what you see below (and can rertrieve from the download section). This program is plain simple, but it is also very important. It shows that if you need to output n lines to the screen, you need to send n+2 lines!

Access: the source.

      
MODULE access;

FROM  InOut   IMPORT  WriteString, WriteLn;

BEGIN
   WriteString ("Content-Type : text/plain");
   WriteLn;
   WriteLn;
   WriteString ("Hi there, this is my text.");
   WriteLn
END access.

Access: how it's invoked.

Below is part of the HTML source to enbale you to see these magnificant words on screen (Mr Sulu).
