The NetFrontier suite is very useful when working with CGI scripts that are running on another machine. It allows you to easily move bits of the object database from one machine to another, either via Program Sharing for local area networks, or via TCP for machines that are not accessible locally. Mason Hale wrote an excellent article about CGI scripting. His article goes deeper than we can on this page. Mason also was responsible for the development and evolution of the CGI Framework, and in many ways was the catalyst for the renewal of Frontier in the last couple of years.
