browser interface?

I have been experimenting with Active Server Pages with some success. I am
new to Python and fairly new to ASP, but am basically using HTML and Python
in an ASP file as the GUI and processing code combined. It works OK.

Active Server Pages are available on non NT platforms through ChiliSoft and
others.
