Well I would love to, and to get the developers of the other program to do so. 
But their program is large with lots of modules, the architure of which I do 
not know completely, nor do I care to, as this would involve re-inventing of 
the wheel. 
Further, a rewrite of their program would involve copyright and other 
legaleese, I would rather avoid. 

All that I would want to do is to snatch the output variables of their *.cgi 
program, write to a temporary MySQL Table or DB, supplement the data with 
output from a phorm log file probably into another Table or DB, do a JOIN and 
put into the final DB. An alternate approach I had envisioned was to read the 
*.cgi output from the flatfile into hidden fields of the phorm file and then 
into the MySQL DB. 

The problem with the latter was that I was not too sure how best to get *phorm 
to read and pick up variables from an external flat file. Hope I did not miss 
it in the Guide, it did cover many grounds. 

Thanks
