NCSA Mosaic for MS Windows User Guide

G : Client Communication Interface

The Client Communication Interface (CCI) is a mechanism that lets other applications communicate with Mosaic. CCI consists of a collection of OLE (object linking and embedding) function calls that can be made from other programs. For example, an application can use CCI to gain access to a World Wide Web document, download an Internet resource, or send electronic mail.

CCI functionality was created to provide programmers with a way to have their application programs communicate with Mosaic. This section contains information for programmers and those interested in some of the "behind the scenes" working of software programs. The information is probably not relevant to the typical Mosaic end user.
