Author's Description: Another multiuser chat applet. Includes source for both. Probably has C source for the server as well.
The paired server source and capability of this applet is what distinguishes it from other similar applets-otherwise, it's a nicely functional, straightforward chat resource. Other chat resources on the Gamelan directory include the EarthWeb Chat, Chatbox, and Dimension X Cafe (all in this section).

Author's Description: A demonstration of some cool chat technology. Chat in a graphical room filled with cartoon characters. Graphics are being rendered using a PostScript Interpreter written in Java. The server is written in rock-solid ANSI/POSIX-C. This is a small site located in Germany. Accessibility from outside Europe might be poor :-( Docs are available in both English and German, the program is in German, but is very easy to use!
Accessibility is slow, but the applet is definitely not poor-it's a bit confusing if you don't speak German, but the graphics and navigation are very cool. Similar chat applets-with rooms and/or characters/avatars for visitors to explore and utilize-include Web Environment Home (Network and Communications: Other Network and Communications Resources) and WWWalker Virtual World (this section).

Author's Description: Como is a framework for developing multiuser applets. It provides an easy-to-use programming interface-a simple chat program is only about 100 lines long (including user interface and comments). Servers running Como can be interconnected for global communication.
Options include a multiuser draw program, a virtual classroom, and chats with or without video capability. A few drawbacks on the Windows 95 testing platform: First, the Como window graphics loaded incompletely, though text descriptions of each option in were available. Secondly, response time to choices was very slow, and the Help file was not accessible. These difficulties were less apparent on the Macintosh testing platform, but keep these factors in mind as you try this applet.

Author's Description: The Watcher helps you keep track of updates to sites that you are interested in. You can make a personalized list of sites you want The Watcher to check and specify how often you want each site checked (anywhere from every ten minutes to once a month). When The Watcher checks a site, it retrieves the time that the document was last updated, compares that with the information in your personal database, and alerts you if something new has appeared.
Instructions on how to create your Watcher file, along with parameters and instructions, are to be found on this site. Other search and surfing aids on the Gamelan directory include Furl It, Surf-o-matic, and Ultra Nav (all Miscellaneous: Other Miscellaneous Resources); Channel Surfer (JavaScript: Other JavaScript Resources); Avenue Search, Surf Tool 1.0, and Webroute 66 (all JavaScript: Search); and Bingo! and CompuLink Services (both Utilities: Other Utilities).
