Something like this is really not what CF is designed for. You'd really
want some sort of a server running that communicated the data to the
client on a streaming basis - unless there's something already built,
you'd do some sockets programming on the server (I'm guessing C++ or
Java would be the best bets) and you'd need to develop a client in
something like ActiveX or Java.

Subject: real time processing
Hello,
I've been doing intranet sites (mostly forms/reports) and lurking on the
list for several years now. Recently my clients have expressed a great
interest in real-time monitoring, so I'm a bit out of my league. We have
a WebDaq that writes a file every x seconds. I need to get the file,
process it, then display data via applets would be my guess. My first
thought was to cfftp-get the file, parse it, then send output to the
applet. I'm not sure this is going to be efficient enough to display
data real-time (of course a small time lag is okay). I know there are
sites running stock tickers. Is there a standard procedure for
accomplishing this? Also, does anybody know of a good applet library for
controls like thermometers, speedometers, etc.?
