Alan has stated this pretty well.

However, even if you are simply running a SAS program already at that site
(i.e., just clarifying what is meant below by submit) and passing it
parameters, in all likelihood you may need to upgrade your SAS license.

And, while I am not sure if it is still true, the cost of upgrading your SAS
license so you can have your own home-grown CGI implementations is the same
or very close to the price of a SAS/IntrNet license.

David,

SAS requires a license for IntrNet or Int tech if you submit SAS code over
the web. I don't think that has changed.

.NET is free, has an open source version, and is very easy to work with. I
can have a site operational against SAS data in 30 mins or so and have
published plenty of info on how to make that happen in papers. Don Henderson
has also written loads on how to use SAS/IntrNet to create a site.

Other than the fact that you have to use one of SAS products (and thereby
spend some cash), I am not sure how the other arguments fit.

CGI is fine but SAS/IntrNet uses CGI and .NET can use CGI.

Suggested answers to this seem to center around complex, expensive and
closed technologies like SAS/Intranet or .NET?

What's wrong with a simple CGI script?
