Adam Bernstein has made a great web page for info on transparent and interlaced GIFs. The page just keeps getting better and better. This is a great resource and just another reminder that individuals still make up the bulk of the Internet resources and individual effort can really make a web page or ftp site shine bright. Corporate sites (IMHO) will never replace individual or well-done home page sites of a determined netter. If you're looking for info on transparent and interlaced GIFs, Adam has attempted to collect links to all the Web and FTP resources that various individuals and companies have made available. The info here includes most computing platforms (Unix, Mac, PC), and also includes many applications and programs with many tutorials. Check it out! If you don't have Web access, you can get a text version of the resource and links list from the FTP site shown above. If you do have WWW access - the web page URL is the much more preferred method. Either way this site is a must for web writers!
The Internet Roundtable Society has created WebChat server software for free Web distribution. The software resides on a web server and includes such features as multiple chat rooms and different levels of discussion moderation from no moderation to heavily moderated. Since the software exists entirely on the web server it requires no download to the users and no software learning curve for users. Once the software is installed on a WWW server it works with any web browser that can support forms. Most new versions of web browsers (Netscape, Mosaic, etc.) can support forms. A great idea whose time has come. It gives an easy to use interface much like AOL chat rooms and does away with often cryptic IRC sessions. No special client software is needed by users. WebChat software is available for download (free) in versions for Macintosh and Unix. WebChat can easily be setup on a Mac web server using MacHTTP and the total cost is... free.
This lets a web page designer enter any text and then choose the fonts and the color of the text that the chosen font creates. Many web page designing tools (shareware and commercial) limit the writer to a few font types or worse - only one particular font face. WebFonts does away with all that and generates HTML code to be placed in the page to code the font types and colors to the web page. The above URL has examples of how it all works.

CGI is actually a specification for passing data and info between a web server and an external application or program (located outside of the web page or web server software unlike the brand new HotJava protocols) CGI is still the accepted "standard" for making calls to outside programs from a pathway that begins with a user usually filling out a forms-based page (web HTML document) then entering the request or query which is then passed on to the web server and then finally routed to the appropriate program such as a search engine or database program. The pathway looks like this... web page ---> CGI script ---> web server ---> outside program the results or actions of the program can be then sent back to the web page and viewed by the users web browser software. More info on the CGI spec and scripting can be found at the following locations...
