Questions: 

Is there a way (software app) which will let my internal users
view my VAX/VMS Fortran application using their browser?
I'm trying to eliminate the need for a VT emulator on their
desktop.

Thanks.

I'm not sure what you mean by "view" - if it's simply to allow display of the
source text in a web browser, you will need to add the .FOR file type to the
list of MIME types your web server recognizes, classifying it as "text/plain".

   Acquire a book on CGI, and learn how to modify an application to
   operate as a spawned process "underneath" a web server -- it can
   be as simple as adding a few additional lines of text to the output,
   or -- depending on the application -- it can be an involved process.
