Re: Displaying the webpages properly

Dear Sir,

I am writing to say that I think you are out of luck.

Firstly, the only correct answer is to read and understand the status.c 
program text (and the cgiutils.c if necessary) and see if this is 
feasable.

I think that you will need to modify these programs to do what you want.

You may consider re-coding them as Perl - if it's possible to get the
same display precision with CGI.pm - because doing so (and using CGI.pm) 
would eliminate the code that reads the CGI input from the web server.

I think this would require a new CGI:

new_cgi?page1&page2&page3

that would display the each page for an interval and then cycle to the 
next.

You may be able to do this fairly simply yourself (calling status.cgi to
do the display).

'...No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the
continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a
manor of thy friend's or of thine own were. Any man's death diminishes
me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know
for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee...'
