Visual Obliq: programming environment for distributed applications

## NAME

visobliq - Visual Obliq: programming environment for distributed applications

## SYNTAX

**visobliq**

## DESCRIPTION

**Visual Obliq is a programming environment for** **multi-user applications, expressed in the Obliq language.**

**In the Visual Obliq model, a distributed session is started by loading** **an application into an Obliq interpreter. This creates a session with** **a certain unique public name. Users running interpreters at other** **sites can connect to the session via the session-name. The act of** **joining a session causes the appropriate client code and user** **interface specification to migrate to the client's address-space and** **run there.**

**All the above activities can be supported and** **coordinated within the World-Wide Web framework. A Visual Obliq** **program may be regarded as a document with an appropriate MIME** **type. The text of an application is disseminated as a** **MIME-encapsulated document by a Visual Obliq gateway (vocgi).**

**For more information, find Luca or Marc Brown.**
