This was his reply to me before... I never got ambitious enough to do it
though.

I could send you sample messages if you want, or you could just install
xAPNews or something...

Currently no, but you can use the xAP with out the intranet ;-)

It's slightly more complicated than just the web.service as you would
have to:
Send web.service every 300 seconds
Send server.stop at app closedown
Respone to web.server requests.
Track all other intranet apps for time outs
Add to the webpages all the available rss feeds
Add to the web pages all the otehr intranet apps in the toolbar.

Now one way around it would be for your app to accept web.service
messages and pass them over to the ocx for it to handle all the above,
that could well be possible( no promise on time scale though!)
.Another posibility would be to use the intranet ocx for xAP receiving
but instead of using it's parsing of the message do your own using the
xAPRaw event then you could do anthing you like with it. For sending
there is also a SendxAPX call which gives access to all the fields of
a xAP message so you can send from sub devices for example
