Most web data is passed using the query_string environmental
variable, which is set by the web server and collected by the
program executed. In the below qbasic example (VB should be
somewhat similar), the web server is told to set the "mydata" as
the "query_string" environmental varable, then the server starts
"myprogram.exe". One of the first things in "myprogram.exe" is
the second line below where it looks for and gets the
"query_string" environmental variable and sets it to "a$".
"Myprogram.exe" now does what ever it needs to do with the "a$".
The web server then takes the output from "myprogram.exe" and
sends it back to the web brouser. The bottom link is a page that
shows how to use qbasic (VB may be similar) to control the
parallel port data pins and read the parallel port status pins
via a web link.
http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/myprogram.exe?mydata
a$ = ENVIRON$("QUERY_STRING")

As I understand it most of Zommcat's programs are on win98 and qbasic.exe
will not work on win2000.
I suppose ENVIRON is a system level variable available to any program
including VB
as in
PRINT #1, "<P>Your IP address: "; ENVIRON$("REMOTE_ADDR"); "<BR>"
(none of this in my VB text book!)
I wonder if anyone in this group has an example of a Visual Basic 6 program
that picks up and uses the data returned from a web page on remote browser.
I think VB can even run old qbasic code "as is" - I will try it out |

Qbasic doesn't seem to be able to "open" a com port on XP, but
others have reported using the compiled qbasic application on
win2K machines works without problems. the interpeted qbaisc
programs may also work. As for the parallel port, on NT/2K/XP
machines, an application such as userport needs to be used to set
the registry to allow access to the parallel port hardware. No
hardware access problems on win95/98.

A good group to ask VB serial port questions is in the
microsoft.public.vb.controls news group. Doing a google search
for VB environ$ pulls up some examples. |

As usual - a few minutes after the post I got it to work on Win 2000. This
method of talking to the serial port is new to me, I now have a web page that
can control and see my 2 axis cam like Zoomcat - many thanks to him if he
turns up!!
What I reallly would like is to send data from a web page (say from a slider
control) and have Visual Basic 6 handle the data. Echoo will pick up the data
from web clicks on the remote web page - how can VB do the same?
I am still "lesson 1" standard - any pointers to (free) utilities or info
much appreciated.
Also - how does Zoomcat send sound with his in-browserpage pictures?
Also - my PC browsers can see my streamed video but not my Macintosh
browsers,,, both can see the Zoomcat stream....odd |

Echoo works on XP pro, so it should work on 2K. Below is a cam

The best/cheapest way is to go to ebay and search for Ivista. You
can get the video/audio software for ~$10.

That probabbly depends on the streaming software you are using.
Webcam32 has some java applet issues with the new Sun java. |
