Web Browser Use

It may be more difficult initially to develop a generic hypertext browser than a specific front-end for a particular information system. However, the de­coupling of the client and server programs by the "information bus" pays off as more clients and servers are plugged in and universal readership is achieved. Writing a server for new data is generally a simple task because it requires no human interface programming.
