You say you will "call it from the browser", so I assume you're talking about a cgi program that can be called over the inter/intranet. CGI programs are easy to write in Euphoria. There are some examples on the Recent Contributions page of the RDS website. >Also, I have seen some comments about X-windows. Does Eu run under X and/or >Linux? Yes, and yes. An easy to use Euphoria wrapper for GraphApp can be downloaded from my webpage: http://www.free-host.com/irv The address for the GraphApp site is also listed, there are excellent tutorials there.
