Does anyone know about a CGI implementation which is running on top of X11, preferably X11R3 ? Thanks for any hint. -- Klaus Gottheil (kg@cadlab.UUCP) CADLAB Bahnhofstr. 32 D-4790 Paderborn W. Germany

HP's implementation of CGI is called Starbase. In their latest release of the X11 server, there is a Starbase support (called "sox11" for Starbase on X11). You can create a X11 window, and make Starbase calls to the window. HP's current X11 server is X11R2 + fixes + backing store. Since the support comes in the form of a binary library which is linked in, I think you would need to buy an HP Unix system to get the support. caveat: I have spent the total of 2 days exploring Starbase on X11, so I am no expert. >Klaus Gottheil (kg@cadlab.UUCP) fletcher Fletcher E.

Just as a clarification: There are two ways of getting Starbase output to an X window. One is to use the above-mentioned sox11 driver, which translates Starbase calls into X requests. Thus this can work remotely over the network to any other X11 server. The other way (available with 6.5) is the X11/Starbase Merge which allows Starbase programs to coordinate access to the display hardware with the X server. This is faster and more complete than sox11, but cannot be done over the net. -- Chan Benson HP Fort Collins
