Marc et al,
Thank you for responding to my question.
I have been away a week visiting my new grand daughter!
I'll now have a chance to assimilate what you have written.

It contains our prototypical subsystem "Web" that allows you to publish simple BlackBox documents and forms as web pages.

In order to facilitate experimentation with our prototype, we have additionally included Stewart Greenhill's lightweight web server "Dbu" which runs directly from within BlackBox.

(There will be the question whether it is okay to overwrite the module WinNet -- just say yes.) Next you should open the module WebObxCaps. The first commander at the bottom of the source text opens the WebObxCaps forms-based application. If you hit the second commander, you will launch the web subsystem together with the web server and you will be able to use the exact same application from within your web browser via the following URL:

Nevertheless, WebObxCaps may give you a hint at what might be possible in pursuing this approach further. Unfortunately, we at Oberon microsystems do not have enough free resources to invest in this project. So the question would be whether anyone else wants to develop this further. Our colleagues at latl.ch recently expressed their interested in a system like this too.
