The Webtop let you run an application on Uw7 but display it
   to any Netscape w/Java browser anywhere in the world.

   Support for it has been dropped.

The Webtop is a scaled down version of Tarentella!! What's with the exclamation points? Please allow me to explain...

The Webtop lets you run an application on Uw7 but display it to any Netscape w/Java browser anywhere in the world.

This redirection of display and keyboard control is what used to be accomplished with an X-Server running on a PC. Then the X-based application running on Uw7 would be displayed on the PC using the PC X-Server.

      Disadvantage == $$.  
      Disadvantage == Installing X-Server on all PC's
      Disadvantage == Limited to X-Applications.

      Advantage == Low $$, almost every computer has Netscape.  Webtop is free.
      Advantage == No configuration needed on the PC side if Netscape is
                   already running with Java enabled.
      Advantage == Simple as heck for users.  They just type the URL:
                   http://myhost/webtop/   <-- 'myhost' is the Uw7 FQDN.
                   and they are presented with a Login screen.
      Advantage == Can be seen on any computer with Netscape, not just PC's.
      Advantage == Can be administered from anywhere in the world.
      Advantage == Root can use the scoadmin managers through the webtop.
      Advantage == Runs many type of programs like X-apps, Terminal apps, etc.
