?? How is the interface complicated?  I have a number of VERY low tech users that are capable of using the standard interface to backup their computers.  I man a fairly simple PDF walk through for them as a refernce and I have virtually zero issues.

Are you trying to avoid a potential issue or do you actually have people incapable of working the cgi interface?

I really know nothing about CGI, but I hope that I can rely on my logic
to figure out what lines of code do what.

I'm hoping I can have both a simple and the standard CGI interface
available, possibly by using 2 different addresses:

http://localhost/backuppc/simple
http://localhost/backuppc/standard

or something like that.
