Description

The Naviagtor component actually consists of two programs. The main program is a CGI that retrieves objects from the NavMan Sproc. This program expects the locspecs to be stored in format. It then in-lines anchors with URL's that refer back to itself. The other program is a utility that processes files from the file system. These files are text with delimited locspces. The locspec delimeters are stripped out and the resulatnt files are stored as NavMan documents. The locspecs are collected and tagged on the document object. A separate file defines the structures between the document objects. This file is read, and the corresponding structure objects are created.
