Avoid having to learn a new interface that's different from GPS.
I have enough technical difficulties with my code that I want to
avoid distractions of that type.  In the later stages, these will
include concurrent processing of user selections.  Right now I 
need Web access.

I've also used the previous instantiation of CGI for Ada, which
I think David Button provided.  That would be fine and is actually
neater than the new GNAT library - particularly since I can reuse
code from previous iterations at this problem.  [Sedgwick's book
on Algorithms, Ed. 4, comments that changes to systems should avoid
introducing changes to existing contracts with the users.  The new
GNAT libraries certainly violate that part of the contract.]

I'm also aware of AWS - and would be tempted to use that if I were
developing on my Ubuntu Linux machine.  I'd like to get over the
basic working of my algorithms before I make that transition.  Again,
it's the time sink of learning new interfaces when the real problems
lie in the algorithms themselves.
