Netscape, Adobe, Sun, IBM, etc.).
The system is data driven, it converts a Mapping File, to a full internet system, ready for
distribution to clients, or to publish as part of the web site of the organization. The translated
system is not static one, but it comes equipped with different functions and utilities, to zoom,
