Well, my CGI is perl anyway, and last I looked the csuite stuff was mainly
shell scripts, as I recall.
Also, is there somewhere to find out more about the specs for your remote
services feature? I saw a kind of ad for a while back, but would be
interested in learning a little more about the guts. Was it designed to be
somewhat portable or is it intricately tied in with csuite's internals? (I
assume the latter)

I took the lazy approach and simply use the pragma no cache feature to
prevent Lynx from caching, then added a note at the bottom suggesting
people hit reload if they want to see an update. :) Though having a
system-wide cache is an interesting idea, though I'm not sure how that'd
work with Lynx's internal CGI function which runs processes by a user's ID.
