Quiet mode for View?

[paavo.nevalainen]

1-2 years ago I tried to implement a CGI script with Rebol View,
but I would like it to be kind of a passive what comes
to the console graphics.

I tried --nowindow option, but it still opened the window
(I used X Windows connection to check it). Can View be used for
CGI scripts nowadays? I would use it to decorate on image
file and to create an interactive map application).

I am trying another approach, a php script starting Core
which produces a datafile, which is read by the same script
(and decoration by GD in php). This is a clumsy solution
to me...

Can View/Pro do such a job in batchmode? The system of my
provider is RedHat Linux or SunOS Unix (don't remember anymore
which one it is ;) ). Core works quite nicely, but ain't have
graphics functions.

unix-view needs xwindows for fonts, and will not run without it.
options are:
- run on windows (sorry)(never tried).
- have xwindows on the server (or vnc or such thing) and set DISPLAY
to it. if your provider supports that. never tried, don't know how to
pass that env-var best.
