Slingshot
     
         {CSK
        Software}'s {real time} financial server for the {Internet}.
     
        Slingshot allows the delivery of real time market data across
        the {Internet} and private {intranets} quickly, cheaply and
        securely.  The first beta-test version was released free to
        the Internet on 6 August 1996.  Slingshot allows any financial
        institution, regardless of size, to publish their rates and
        associated information to a global audience using standard
        Internet protocols and software.  The {real-time} data can be
        seamlessly integrated into any standard {World-Wide Web}
        application and thus combined with static text, database
        queries and even audio and video objects, to create services.
     
        The Slingshot protocol enables the delivery of other forms of
        real time data over the Internet, thus making Slingshot useful
        in industries as varied as manufacturing, betting, telemetry,
        weather, transport and medicine.
     
        Version 2's improved protocol minimises the required
        {bandwidth} and can go through {firewalls}, {proxies}, and
        {virus scanners}, making Slingshot real-time data accessible
        everywhere where normal web access is possible.
