I get asked this question every few months, however the first time I was
asked the question was several years ago. I put an example together in just
five minutes for that questioner that's still on our server. Its URL is:

     http://aics-research.com/tony.html

All of this output is done in our report writer and was printed as a unit
whole to a flat file on the HP3000. The intent was to have this report run
every few hours or days and allow remote viewers to see the most up-to-date
data in a simple format that they were familiar with. If the HP3000 is also
acting as the web server (something that wasn't easily done three years ago,
but now is a snap), then you're done.

After loading the page, view the source. The trick to this kind of page is
the use of the pre and /pre HTML tags. These tags allow the data as it comes
off directly off of the HP3000 to be incorporated into the web page. It may
not be the prettiest format in the world, but with a little imagination, you
make it look better than you might think.

And it is amazingly simple to do.
