Visually, they'd be the same. Which was my goal from the start. Sorry
if I wasn't clear on that.

Yes, I do. Sticking to Perl and html, I could use a daemon-type[1]
program to maintain an HTML document with the output from avid.cgi.
This HTML document would have an auto-refresh command, so I could
display the document in my browser, and I'd see updates in a timely
manner.
For the short term, I'm working on a VB program that does both the
polling and displaying in one app. But I'm not sure it will be workable
-- I've got concerns about the level of functionality of the browser
control included with VB.

1) I'm in Windoze, so it couldn't be considered a real daemon, right?
