[AG-TECH] AG shared apps

[Allan Spale]

Jennifer,

I have developed a shared application for AG 2 that assisted in launching
(and deciding what file to launch) a program called ImmersaView (a shared
3-D model viewer) both locally and at remote sites.  It has been a while
since I have worked on deploying shared AG apps, so my memory is a bit
rusty on the process.

To use the shared app, you need to first download ImmersaView from
http://www.evl.uic.edu/cavern/agave/immersaview/.  Then you can visit
http://www.evl.uic.edu/cavern/rg/20031022_spale/ to download the zip file
of the program and a related document that described the design for a
shared application launcher.

Please e-mail me if you have any questions or comments.
