Abstract

A compiler command is specified and a compiler application or other application is executed. A file name is passed to the application identifying data file input. Special net I/O functionality is included in the net I/O API. This functionality determines whether the file identifier is a URL. If it is not a URL, then standard C API's are used to open, read, and write the file specified. If the identifier is a URL, then Win32 API functions are used to access the Internet and to open, read, and write the file. Thus, the application executes successfully without a download of the remotely stored file input prior to execution.
