This software suite includes an ASP/CGI engine, viewer, installer, and run-time library. It provides a convenient environment for developing standalone web programs for desktop computers.
Active Local Pages is a software that provides an ASP (Active Server Pages) and CGI engine, along with several additional tools like a Viewer with extended DHTML, Installer, and a huge pack of components. It allows for desktop applications to be written in ASP/CGI and deployed to any Windows PC beginning with Windows 95 (with IE4 or later).
The software is applicable for any application where request/response schema will fit, including DB applications, many utilities, catalogs, albums, and more. Combining the simple and powerful ASP/CGI technology with DHTML allows for the development of software that is both nice looking and functional with little effort.
One of the great things about ALP is that it is almost fully compatible with MS Internet Information Server. The applications can often be executed on stand-alone desktops (with ALP) and on WEB servers (under IIS) with no changes or minimal changes if certain specifics of the particular platform are used.
Additionally, the ALP run-time library can be installed on server machines so the applications built initially for ALP can gain access to the same components on the WEB server machine. The latest additions to the run-time library include threads, system functions, version and shell functions, which extends the applicability of the ASP programming further - to even long asynchronous tasks, install/update operations, administration, and more.
Overall, Active Local Pages is an excellent software for anyone looking to develop desktop applications in ASP/CGI with ease and a lot of functionalities.
