1. Summary of WAP for Scientific/Crystallographic applications (Mobile Phone - "Wireless Application Protocol")

Thanks for responses from people reading the newsgroup about WAP
happy WBMP image converters that might run on IRIX.

There is a draft CCP14 based page on using WAP (The Mobile Phone "Wireless
Application Protocol") for Scientific and Crystallographic applications.

   http://www.ccp14.ac.uk/solution/wap/

----

The simple (public) examples given in the page is a WAP page on
the SRS Synchrotron Beam Status:

  Text Only:         http://wap.dl.ac.uk
  Graphics and Text: http://wap2.dl.ac.uk

(You will need a WAP enabled Mobile Phone or WAP
Emulator to view the above pages:
e.g,
    Wapalizer Javascript: http://www.gelon.net
    WINWAP for Windows: http://www.slobtrot.com/winwap/

----

Also, as getting a WBMP converter going for SGI IRIX was
quite a nightmare, a friend has written a small
GPL'd BMP to WBMP converter that knows about BIG_ENDIAN and
LITTLE_ENDIAN computers:

  SABWBMP for Windows and UNIX:
    http://www.droidwarez.com/sabwbmp/

It also has some colour filtering in there to take
care of converting images that may have a varying
colour background.

(Also, the ImageMagic on freeware.sgi.com is not current
enough if you want to use this for WBMP conversion.
Go for the newest version at:

 ftp://ftp.wizards.dupont.com/pub/ImageMagick/ImageMagick.html

----

Links to some of the pitfalls and problems of WAP are also given.

e.g.,

"The WAP Trap: An Expos of the Wireless Application Protocol
  http://www.freeprotocols.org/wapTrap/one/main.html
  http://www.ccp14.ac.uk/solution/wap/wap_trap.html

and:
 W* Effect Considered Harmful
  http://www.ics.uci.edu/~rohit/IEEE-L7-WAP.html  

Corrections/suggestions for the page appreciated.  As well
as links to other Crystallographic/Scientific WAP enabled
pages.
