It is not a technical problem. Standard MUMPS is well suited to providing
dynamic data-derived Web services and a number of MUMPS based systems, such
as ours, have been doing that for more than 5 years.

If you are at all interested in cross platform solutions you should take a
good look at mozilla (http:/www.mozilla.org), particularly XML, CSS, XUL,
RDF, and Javascript.
The mozilla browser will display XML directly and in some cases all you need
to do is supply a style sheet.
