There is nothing unique or special about the CGDEV2 environment described
above on the IBM i vs. CGI programming on *nix.

Hmmm... On all of the *nix systems I've worked on, a new process gets forked for each CGI job that it handles.

By contrast, CGI on IBM i doesn't fork (submit) a new job. Instead, it hands the request off to a pool of existing jobs, jobs that have already been started.

CGI on IBM i is more like FastCGI on Unix -- except that it's transparent to the program that's invoked (whereas FastCGI requires changes to the program...)

Happy Birthday, by the way!
