I have a fairly extensive Rev multimedia application (an encyclopedia on wood) which I've been selling for years via CD. I'd like to modify it so it runs on the web. I'm not sure how much of the currently functionality I can actually replicate via a browser, but I'm ready to see how far I can go with this.

I'm starting out knowing I need to use cgi functionality as the gateway, and I've recently had some experience setting up a Rev-based cgi server. But all of that was based on using text files, not Rev stacks.

If I understand the possibilities correctly, I should be able to accept input from the user's browser which can be translated via cgi so that it effectively sends commands to my existing Rev stacks, almost as if the user was working right off the CD. I understand the output will have to formatted to html... no problem on that end.

It's not clear to me if it makes sense to use LibCGI in this process and/or RevHTTP. And, to the extent I should use either or both of these, I'm not clear on the simplest way to integrate them.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks.
Richard Miller
