[Coco] The Coco's first webserver, written in Basic09

[Christian Lesage]

Can't RUN be used for that purpose? The way I see it, every web page 
would be a procedure that the server would RUN upon request. That way, 
you could have dynamically-generated content because a web page would be 
a BASIC script that writes HTML code.

On the other hand, is BASIC09 always compiled? I mean, do you 
necessarily have to compile your scripts before you can RUN them? IIRC, 
it is not mandatory, but I could be wrong.
