Hi,

I want to be able to use Report Magic with the Analog CGI Form.
I've been talking about this with Jeremy Wadsack and as his english is
better than mine I'll paste how he thought this could be accomplished.

>3] redirect the client to the rmagic output (or modify rmagic to output

I just want to redirect the browser to the frameset somewhere on the server.


I wanted to ask if somebody already accomplished this with Report Magic or
another program.
Or does somebody have tips about how to program this, I am learning it now
but I have very little knowledge about CGI programs. I do understand C++ a
bit.

Thanks in advice,
 Bart
