I hadn't quite got my mind round the fact that some of the owfs 'bits' are server processes and some are clients. Once I'd got past that I realised that I can run owhttpd with almost the same paramters as owfs (plus a port number) and then I can view the 1-wire bus sensor values as web pages - excellent! :-)
