There has been a great deal of discussion over the years concerning RunRev as a web server CGI and I'm feeling pretty dense because it seems way more complicated than what I want or imagined I would need to do.

I want to create a standalone app, with a main stack that obviously cannot have changes saved to it, and a sub-stack that can have data that changes over time.

I want to copy that standalone set of stacks, with their visual interface to a Mac OS X web server. I want to be able to run that standalone on the server and use the information in it, change the information, etc, and at the same time let others access the information via a web interface.

I want to post data to the stack from a client web browser, see the data in a field in the stack, have scripts parse it, do whatever, and then format some HTML or XML or both and send it back to the client.

Seems simple enough to me but all the examples I see involve installing an engine and saving the stacks as scripts or unix text files or moving the scripts out of the stack or something, I'm just not too sure how this relates to just building a stack, accessing data in it, and formating an HTML reply.

If this is possible and someone has an example stack that does this with setup instructions, I'd love to see it.

If not, if someone knows how to do this, I'd be happy to write up the step by step process for non-Unix weenies like me, and have someone post it on a web site somewhere.

Help!
