NDS 2000 - Network Data Server & WWW Web Server
This plug-in is an IP server that allows other programs to connect and exchange information with OSS 2000 via a TCP/IP network.
Many of our other programs will require this plug-in to be installed into OSS 2000 in order to function.
Built into this plug-in is a complete Web Server that can deliver OSS 2000 schematics across an intranet or the Internet to people using Microsoft's Internet Explorer 4.01 or later.
If you download and install this plug-in from the link above, the Web Server part will initially be enabled for 2 concurrent users and will deliver content to users for 10 minutes before disabling the Web Server.
