Yes, this is very useful. What about source code?

Is there any interest out there in using XMosaic for doing WYSWIS (What You
See is What I See) kind of collaborations ? That is, XMosaic clients on
multiple machines being able to display the same URL simultaneously. I did
an overnight hack that runs over standard Unicast-IP for point-to-point
conferencing as well as over Multicast-IP (Internet RFC-1054, hope this is the
latest one) for multipoint situations. So, in general, any participant can
click on any hyperlink and the URL gets displayed on all the different
xmosaic's. It is not too robust since i have not implemented any detailed
conference managing functions yet, but works, and works very well if aided
by real-time audio/video communication as well. I personally have found it
fairly useful.
In any case, I am willing to share the recompiled xmosaic-1.2 sun-binaries
for those of you who wish to test proof of this concept.
Send me e-mail with your comments, requests etc.., please be polite !
