You oversimplify. Cookies do work fine. What creates, reads, modifies,
validates the cookies? What ties the cookies to useful state

Hello list,
Please pardon me if it is not related to the list.
We have a C application which runs on both SCO open server
and Red Hat Linux with Oracle/Informix database. It is a text
based application originally developed for CRDS box with UNOS.
Now management needs a GUI for the text

My suggestions are:
1. Get rid of screen driver codes from the existing C programs

The problem with all of the above is that it takes a VERY VERY complex

Thank you all for all your input on this.
Here are the reasons why I chose web interface using Apache/CGI/Mod_perl/GD
for our front-end reports.

Well it sounds like most of your design goals are pointing you towards
the web interface. These same goals are what made me choose web even
though I knew that I'd have to make some sacrifices on the interface.
