Sure but you sayed you would like to have a tool with command-line options
(forgetting the fact that I planned to integrate that into my install-tool
for MLCad .. cause this was though to be a trial test) and then you start
the browser ....

Realy I would prefere using a link-library and we make that source-code plus
most used binaries available on ldraw.org ... so everyone willing to use it
can download it and include it into his program.
I mean the idea having java applets for something is not bad, but I don't
like it for a installation tool, it's a bit to complicated for an
installation tool.

java sounds good but then the user has to install the java runtime to
run the thing.

Than we would need a installation tool which also installs the runtime
environment first ... naaa then I prefere portable c/c++ code and make • the Dll

Well, I think the ideia is to be able to download something right ?
So by implication, we are almost forced to use a www browser, so we can • build a
java applet, which runs within our browser.
And if it's run from our personal computer, then we won't have security
problems, as we would, if we would run the applet directly from the web • server.

The server could provide the applet in a compressed form (*.zip, or • something
else) then the user would run it from their home computer. Offcourse the • user
will have to trust our code, but that shouldn't be a problem if the code • is open
source ;)

See ya

(...) OK, we could have a config file, created by the aplication (applet), when there isn't one, which the user could than edit, or even run the applet with parameters, which I believe is posible, but I'm Not sure (haven't worked on Java for 2 years (...)
