Public Web Browser v2
PWB v2 is the newest iteration of the Public Web Browser. A faster and more robust browser then PWB v1, it leverages the power of C++ to add tighter Operating System integration, higher efficiency, and an updated interface. Take advantage of customizable context menus, easier to layout URL and IP filtering, and the lessened effects of java script errors. As the development of PWB v2 continues, we encourage suggestions that would make PWB v2 better suited for your intended results. Feel free to contact us at Support@TeamSoftwareSolutions.com.

PWB will run on any 32 bit version of Windows that has Internet Explorer installed. This includes the following versions, Windows 95\98\ME, and Windows NT\2000\XP\2003. PWB does use Internet Explorer as its base, and will use any version of Internet Explorer that is installed on the computer. You will only have functionality in PWB that is support in IE. For example Print Preview was not introduced in IE until version 5.5, so PWB will not have Print Preview unless you have IE 5.5 installed. For this reason, the recommended version of IE to have installed when using PWB is IE 5.5 or greater.

From the Author: Scott Vermeersch
What we have written is a simplified web browser based on Microsoft's Internet Explorer (MSIE) using Microsoft Visual Basic. The browser uses MSIE as it's base, all web pages and software designed to work with MSIE will work with the browser. The browser offers great benefit to libraries as it does away with all the settings and customizations that MSIE offers, and gives a plain interface for general public use, with customizations only available to system administrators. Customizations include home page, favorites, default printer, printer dialog box, browser logging and tracking, password protection, policy and terms use statement, disable context menus, and station naming. The browser was written from scratch and is similar to the browser currently running on the Library Terminal server.

Celsus Electronic Document Delivery System
Author: Scott Vermeersch

Celsus was designed to be simple in order to avoid unnecessary file corruption and user database 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.

Celsus is several applications in one. It can be used for electronic document delivery via a web server, electronic document delivery via email file attachments, or electronic document delivery via an FTP server.
