This page automatically starts up a Kernel java applet which connects your browser into the Shastra collaborative environment. You currently must grant a large number of privileges to the Applet in order to execute Shastra programs. We are working on reducing these and improving the privilege mechanisms. After the Kernel has started you may select from any of the following applications and begin collaborating. The system should work with both Internet Explorer 4.0 and Netscape Communicator 4.0.
