HTML Viewer to be removed

This is a notification that Ansys will remove the HTML Viewer from ODTK at the end of 2024. The reason is that HTML Viewed is based on the Internet Explorer plugin, which Microsoft no longer maintains. Ansys recommends the following actions:

• You should begin to move to the Web Browser, which is based on Chromium technology found in Chrome and Edge.
• Web Browser does not support VBScript, and Microsoft has deprecated the VBScript language. Therefore, you should migrate all HTML Viewer scripts from VBScript to either JavaScript or Python.

Ansys will be migrating all 50+ ODTK-shipped HTML Utilities from VBScript to JavaScript, to make them compatible with the Web Browser.
