Folks,
incidentally, I've hacked MCM (MultiCast Mosaic) package, developed in '94
when I was working at INRIA, in order to receive multicasted HTML slides from
a Java-compatible Web Browser.
The 5th International WWW Conference MBone team (mbone-team@monet.inria.fr)
will try to send some slides from Paris next week using this tool.
To retrieve the new client stuff: <ftp://ftp.edelweb.fr/pub/MCM/Reflector>.
MCM server package and former Mosaic 2.x clients (with minor updates) can be
found in parent directory.
README files should explain everything, but I couldn't resist to draw some
ASCII-art to try to describe better the mechanism:
+-----------------------+ +-------------------------------+
| Speaker | HTTP | MCM server |
| OS: any |------>| OS: Unix with multicast |
| Software: any browser | | Software: Web server & Perl |

Voila,
