size=2 face=Arial>Hi Lennie</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=843115715-12062010><FONT color=#0000ff
size=2 face=Arial>This is a sub-version of enCore V4, a training version if you
like. Most of the work here was to integrate the Object Browser from TecfaMOO
and the Object Tree Java applet from MOOCanada. Packaging it up to make it
easy to load locally without any changes needed to the local
machine, or requiring admin privileges on a windows box, was intended to
ease its use for schools where software instal policies might be more draconian
than a home users.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=843115715-12062010><FONT color=#0000ff
size=2 face=Arial>You could run this on a server, it is afterall a generic
enCore V4 MOO at heart. WinMOO will work fine, although I do not know how
it behaves under a heavy load with lots of users. It has never died when I've
been using it with 4 or 5 logins at once. Telnet access via port 7777 is
completely standard using WinMOO.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=843115715-12062010><FONT color=#0000ff
size=2 face=Arial>This version has two internal web servers and needs a third
external one for full enCore Xpress use. The two internal servers are the usual
enCore V4 one $httpd on port 7000 and $ehttpd which runs on port 8888. The
latter handles the Object Browser. Like a generic enCore install a traditional
port 80 webserver is needed to handle the graphics, and the Mootcan Java applet
necessary for Xpress as well. On a Windows Server you would probably use IIS for
that or Apache or some other traditional webserver.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=843115715-12062010><FONT color=#0000ff
size=2 face=Arial>To help run the full enCore Xpress interface with just the
local install it is necessary to have that third webserver as well. I never
worried about that myself because my development machine has IIS configured on
it. Thanks to Paul Rayner at Muddle, who was quick to give the Ewebbed
system a shot, I realize (and should have known, duh!) that most people's
generic windows laptops or desktops don't have a webserver setup by default.
This means that if they load up my system as instructed everything works EXCEPT
enCore Xpress! Configuring IIS is a pain and installing Apache is worse so I
will be adding a standalone webserver to the package. The server is called
Mongoose and is a single executable file that adds a webserver
sufficient to run the Xpress client. Again no installation is required
simply copy the files and run a batch file to start it. The Mongoose
server only allows access to the enCore files and nothing else for security
reasons.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=843115715-12062010><FONT color=#0000ff
size=2 face=Arial>Needless to say you wouldn't want to run that if your system
already has a traditional webserver on it!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=843115715-12062010><FONT color=#0000ff
size=2 face=Arial>Another point here is that the Windows firewall will want
to block all this, which is just fine for a training/experimental
setup, since everything is local it doesn't matter. Allowing the
server to have outside access to the lan/net is needed if you want other
people to access it too. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=843115715-12062010><FONT color=#0000ff
size=2 face=Arial>That was a rather long answer to a short question I'm afraid
:-)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>Hey Kevin,<BR><BR>Wow. This looks amazing. Would you call this
another version of enCore V4? Would people be able to run it on a server rather
than just on their desktop? <BR><BR>Lennie<BR><BR><BR clear=all><BR>--
