RE: [WEB400] dynamic image generation

["Joel R. Cochran" <jrc@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've already done this for our CGI site but slightly different...  I have a
CGI program that generates the graphics coordinates and then outputs them to
the browser in an <APPLET>, that way they are passed as parms to a Java
Applet residing in our IFS which then dynamically draws the image on the
Browser.
