I didn't see the original message (why not??), but here's a little
further information:

Steve Knight did some script-supporting stuff, for both 'ordinary'
command script (just like shell scripts, only in pop11) and with
specific support for cgi scripting - the total package was called
poplite. I grabbed a copy some time back and made a few extensions of my
own (for example to make it easy for a cgi script to send an email
message), and am using it in a limited way on our website.

steve may also have done further development, so it sounds like there
may be at least three streams of development here - maybe some
merger/standarisation would be useful...

(Writing cgi script in pop11 is, of course, great fun, cos you can do
complicated things *so easily*)
