PicoWeb Sample Project JAVAHITS
-------------------------------

This PicoWeb project shows how to use a Java applet (supplied by the
PicoWeb) to gather data from the PicoWeb using TCP/IP.  Every second an
analog clock in a graphical window is updated.  At the same time the
date and time (in digital format) and the contents of a "hit counter"
in the PicoWeb are also updated.

The PicoWeb hit counter data is read from the PicoWeb by the applet.
This data from from a simple PicoWeb HTML page.  This Web page calls a
PicoWeb CGI routine that bumps the 16-bit hit counter and then supplies
the counter's value as ASCII text to the returned HTML stream.

The PicoWeb "file system" holds three files: the "home page" (which
loads the Java applet), the HTML page which supplies the hit counter,
and the Java byte-codees for the Java applet.

The Java applet byte-codes are stored in the file "ii01.class".
The Java code used to produce this file can be found in the source
file "ii01.java".  This can be compiled into Java byte-codes
using Sun Microsystem's free Java Development Kit (JDK).  See
http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.1/.
