It was conceived as a way to add client-side functionality to Web browsers. Hamlet makes it possible to write HTML documents containing hyperlinks that, when activated, <P> <UL> <LI> send commands to the other X windows on a display, <LI> copy a set of files and/or directories into the user's home directory, <LI> run an arbitrary script that has installed on a local file system, and <LI> reset Hamlet's state. <P> </UL> <P> We have found these simple capabilities extremely useful when creating HTML-based online tutorials. Consult <A NAME="tex2html2" HREF="http://www.cs.utah.edu/~hamlet/examples.html">this</A> for examples of HTML documents that exploit Hamlet's capabilities. <P> This document <P> <UL> <LI> explains how to obtain and install Hamlet, <LI> describes how to use Hamlet, <LI> discusses how to create HTML documents that exploit Hamlet, <LI> discusses problems that you might encounter using Hamlet, and <LI> lists changes made since the previous version of Hamlet. <P> </UL><HR><center> <table border=1> <td><img height=36 width=36 alt="" src="http://www.cs.utah.edu/icons/latex2html/previous_fade.gif"></td> <td><A NAME="tex2html10" HREF="../../"><img height=36 width=36 alt="UP" src="http://www.cs.utah.edu/icons/latex2html/up.gif"></A></td> <td><A NAME="tex2html12" HREF="node1.html"><img height=36 width=36 alt="NEXT" src="http://www.cs.utah.edu/icons/latex2html/next.gif"></A></td> <td><a href="contents-hamlet.html"><img height=36 width=36 alt="CONTENTS" src="http://www.cs.utah.edu/icons/latex2html/toc.gif"></a></td> <td><a href="reset.hamlet"><img height=36 width=36 alt="RESET" src="http://www.cs.utah.edu/icons/latex2html/stop.gif"></a></td> <td><a href="copyright.html"><img height=36 width=36 alt="COPYRIGHT" src="http://www.cs.utah.edu/icons/latex2html/copyright.gif"></a></td> <td><a href="mailto:hamlet@cs.utah.edu"><img height=36 width=36 alt="FEEDBACK" src="http://www.cs.utah.edu/icons/latex2html/feedback.gif"></a></td> <td> <a href="http://www.cs.utah.edu/%7Ehamlet/icons.html"><img height=36 width=36 alt=ABOUT src=http://www.cs.utah.edu/icons/latex2html/about.gif></a></td> </table> </center> <HR><HR><P><ADDRESS> <I><A NAME="tex2html1" HREF="http://www.cs.utah.edu/~hamlet/mailme.html">hamlet@cs.utah.edu</A></I> </ADDRESS> </BODY>
