Push This! By Wesley Felter, wesf@mail.utexas.edu.
CDF is a way for push-media software like PointCast and MSIE 4.0 to cooperate. It also allows you to turn any site into a CDF channel. The Frontier CDF suite will allow you to turn any Frontier-managed Web site into a CDF channel.
You can download a preliminary version of the software now. Once the browsers are released, we may have to change it. Usage is simple: call CDF.makeCDF(@user.websites.yourSite). The script makes a CDF file that includes every page in your site.
