Jacque,
do you remember any MacOS Classic webserver that is able to run Rev
CGIs? I am trying to remember here but nothing comes to mind.... The
only thing I remember is that you can glue WebServer + Applescript
middleware + Revolution app.
Right, that is all I remember too. I worked with Apple's web server
software and HyperCard and Mac OS 7.5 to create an online database
for a school district many years ago. And yes, we needed to use
AppleScript to communicate between the server and HyperCard as a
CGI. HyperCard then formulated HTML pages and sent those back to the
server.
Rev could work the same way, I imagine. I haven't written any server
implementations for OS 9 for many years though.

I have a client still running a Rev-based CGI (with Valentina as
database) behind MacHTTP under OS9 and works just dandy, serving some
1500 users. AppleEvents (not AppleScript) are used for inter-program
communication.
Such a setup will work just fine under 8.6 on beige 233. It is
actually possible to run this (yes, 8.6) on early G4's to get some
more cpu power. Perfect use for older hardware for less demanding
service.
