Java Applets and JavaScript
Because Java applets are platform-independent, the BWSD Virtual Server System is quite capable of supporting pre-compiled Java classes. BWSD also provides its clients with a Java Bytecode Compiler, a Java Virtual Machine (Interpreter) and "Just-In-Time" Compiler, as well as toba - a Java Native or "Way Ahead of Time" Compiler. A compilation of some classic and useful Java applets is available in the BWSD Java Applet Library. Some very useful scripts are also cataloged in the BWSD JavaScript Library.

BWSD Contrib Library
The BWSD Support Department has compiled several useful programs for our clients that can be installed by following easy step by step instructions. The BWSD Contrib Library is an index of these programs which include Majordomo, PGP, WWW Board, WWW Count, mkstats, and many others.

BWSD Server Extensions
The BWSD Virtual Server System is easily extended to support popular technologies such as Microsoft FrontPage, Secure Socket Layers (SSL), mSQL, Macromedia Shockwave, RealPlayer, and much more. These Server Extensions are openly supported by the BWSD Support Staff and in most cases are provided to you free of charge. BWSD has also authored a web content manager and file browser, iManager, which allows you to manage and maintain the content of your web site with ease and efficiency.

Other CGI Resources
The following resources contain other third party authored programs which may be installed on your Virtual Server System. These programs are not directly supported by the BWSD Support Staff. If you install software from these sources, please direct any questions you have regarding those software packages to the respective authors.
