Hi,

I am programming for many years but never used Java. Perhaps one of the cracks does know this:

I want to communicate with a traditional program which can 'see' that for example a text file is born, a cookie is born or environment variables are changed... something like that.

I don't care what method is used. A direct call at the clients site to some C program is also ok. But until now, It seems that you always needs a server for this kind of actions.

I want to make an application, using HTML, a web browser and COBOL (which can make itself look at the outside as if it is C or Pascal).

Until now, I can create HTML and start the webbrowser but I fail to get the data filled in by the user in the HTML page into something that I can read with the COBOL program. That is probably because I don't know enough about JAVA.

Does anyone for example has some HTML fill-in-page which is written - without using any server - into a file in a directory?

Thank you very much in advance!
