Dynamic-CD is a web server for CDs that runs directly
from the CD. Dynamic-CD launches the web browser to
display pages served by Dynamic-CD at an internet
localhost port address. Dynamic-CD is a Windows
application.
Dynamic-CD serves ordinary static HTML pages, images
etc to the user’s browser. However, Dynamic-CD's real
power comes when script pages are requested. Server-
side ASP scripts are run and the output is returned to
the user's browser. Scripts can access and create
databases, and use any other available COM objects
such as the FileSystemObject.
Dynamic-CD can make your CDs interactive by responding
to user input and selections. For example, you can
personalise the displayed pages or build up an order.
Dynamic-CD also lets you protect information on your
CD, so that only permitted users can access your
sensitive data by typing in a correct username and
password. Alternatively a script can enable access to
sections of your CD. Multiple username/password
combinations are permitted.
You also have the option of encrypting all your
scripts to make them unreadable on the CD to protect
your source code.
Use the Dynamic-CD-Wizard tool to make a CD image from
your source directories. Dynamic-CD-Wizard inserts
the Dynamic-CD runtime into the image, encrypts all
the required files, and makes the CD AutoPlay.
Dynamic-CD-Wizard lets you save your set up
instructions in a project file. A flexible editor
lets you choose files and directories to password-
protect, along with the associated usernames and
passwords.
The Dynamic-CD runtime runs in all recent Windows
platforms. However your users with Windows 95, the
first edition of Windows 98 or Windows NT4 may need to
install a free download from Microsoft to be able to
run scripts or access databases.
Possible examples
For example :
Store a catalog of products on the CD and process
search queries. Users can select products, generate an
order and email the order to you.
For example :
Password protect sections of the CD, allowing access
only to those who have paid a license fee.
For example :
Download your ASP website to a CD and take it on the
road. Sales staff can show off your company website
without the problems of Internet access and connection
delays.
