    General philosophy:

    Run a server process as a separate application on the server machine.

    Open up a socket on some port on the server, and wait. Meanwhile, your Java applet opens up a socket to that port on the host, and starts to send Improv data over it. The server program writes this to disk.

    VRML

    Run thru all the actors/layers/sequences/etc and generate the VRML that corresponds to the current actor state.
