Our Public Web Browser (PWB) has been met with overwhelming enthusiasm. Starting from humble roots as a simple web browser written to help secure a terminal server, to the browsers current state, PWB continues to grow.
Celsus Electronic
Document Delivery System
Celsus was designed
to be simple in order to avoid unnecessary file corruption and user file problems. Simply put, Celsus takes a PDF document
and copies it to a web or FTP server, and then sends an email with a link to retrieve the document. Celsus does not attempt
to manipulate the PDF document in anyway and Celsus uses a simple folder structure to house the documents based on the patron
email address.

How is this all possible?
The WebBrowser control is the main browsing component used by Internet Explorer. Public Web
Browser is built using the same technique as Internet Explorer, by employing the Microsoft WebBrowser control.
"In the furor over Netscape's release of the Navigator source code, Microsoft's customization
options for Internet Explorer often get short shrift. This article discusses how you can reuse Internet Explorer's WebBrowser
control in your own applications, both as a platform for building your own browser implementation or, as we feel will become
increasingly popular, the user interface for a "traditional" application."
Internet Explorer 8.0 and PWB PWB
was developed using the Microsoft standards for hosting the IE Web Browser control. We have thoroughly tested PWB with IE 8
on both Windows XP, and Windows Vista. PWB will continue to function without trouble on both platforms with IE 8. PWB will
also gain any non-GUI functionality that is included with IE 8.0. Starting with PWB v2.10.2 RSS feeds are supported.
