Hi Jeff,

  This is an example of using omgetimp.  I am actually reading 25 points,
but paired the script down for the email.  Separate each C:B.P with one
space.

  I ftp the resulting data file over to a computer hosting a web server, and
use a perl script to create a web page from the data file.  The timestamp is
included so the web user knows when the data was last updated.

  This is getting live data from blocks, not from the historian.  To get
data from my historian (legacy Informix) I use the report writer to create
the data file and then ftp it to the web server.

Kevin,

Thanks for the advice of using omgetimp.  I'm not
familiar with this command.  From googling it, it
looks like it runs from the command line?  Any places
you can point me to for more information.

Thanks,
