         <ListIntro>ERP Enterprise comes
		  with two different client applications:</ListIntro>
         <ListItemHead>WebTop</ListItemHead>
         <ListItem>A client application that you run in an internet browser,
		  without installing anything on the client workstation. The WebTop is based on
		  Java.</ListItem>
         <ListItemHead>Worktop</ListItemHead>
         <ListItem>A client application that you can use after it is installed on
		  the client workstation. Worktop runs on Microsoft Windows. You can recognize
		  the Worktop client by the <HTML:IMG xmlns:HTML="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40" width="16" height="16"

                      alt="[...]"/> icon in the title bar.</ListItem>
      </List>
      <List>
         <ListIntro>The user interfaces of these clients have a different
		  appearance, but most of the functionality is the same.</ListIntro>
         <ListItem>In both clients, you can run multiple applications. For
		  example, you can start ERP Enterprise sessions, run DEM processes (Dynamic Enterprise Modeling), and work with
		  Workflow lists.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>In both clients, you can easily customize the interface.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>In both clients, you have a shortcut bar where you can place
		  shortcuts to frequently used tools and sessions.</ListItem>
