I have created a product that I'm calling SAS Server Pages.  Initially, the product was a simple test of the ability of SAS to communicate with a CGI program.  Fueled by a few very interested parties, I have made the product into a viable alternative to SAS/Intrnet, duplicating the functionality SAS/Intrnet provides in running batch SAS programs on the same computer as the web server.  In the future, depending on the support or sales received, I would consider developing the other capabilities of SAS/Intrnet that involve cross machine communication and load balancing, if there was a desire/need.

This product will allow you to run Base/SCL programs in the same manner as SAS/Intrnet but for a LOT less money.

There is no web site or public documentation available yet, but if you are interested, email me privately.

Thanks,
David Ward
