- NPAC WebTools is a CGI-extended Web server that offers a HyperWorld based metaphor for organized content authoring and navigation, currently implemented in terms of the following tools:
HyperWorld Manager, HyperWorld Navigator, On-Line HTML Editor, WebMail and CASE tools for HySource Worlds authoring.
- HyperWorld Manager offers database management support for the server document tree, integrated with browser GUI tools for remote file/document and directory/folder handling (create, destroy,
copy etc.). The model assures concurrency control, atomicity and integrity of the document datatbase.
- Compare to File Manager in MS(becomes Web)Windows and simple UNIX shell cp mv rm commands. Directory structure is (crude) database structure built into UNIX. WebWindows has much much more
powerful natural database support.
