The intent is to be able to do some CGI in Eu for my website, which will be
hosted on a Sun Cobalt RAQ4. Linux. Not an issue, here. Thanks for the
heads-up, and I've just pulled down about a half-dozen files from the
archives.

I'm actually more concerned about how Rob, as a businessman, feels about
this prospect; the technical issues can be handled satisfactorily. I don't
see a reason to go with the full Eu, either - but I also can see where Rob
might want a prospective commercial web host to buy the full package before
offering Eu as a CGI language, even if the interpreter actually posted is
"only" the PD version.
