• Ramakrishnan Suryanarayanan
• Published: 17 Sep 2001

Accepts a wild card '*' as input parameter as program input and then uses the variant table to generate the output. Calls 2 functions namely 'ws_download' and 'call_browser' and displays the output in HTML format. Call Browser calls the default setup browser (IE) or (Netscape) as the case may be.
