how to display a program on a web page

R

I have a weather program that runs on one networked
computer via a RS232 interface. How do I display its
active content on a web page? What I'd really like is to
display the entire screen of that computer on a web page,
similar to windows virtual PC

You can't run other programs from browsers for security reasons

There are several methodologies that can be used to reuse output
from programs but you'll need to spend some time with somebody
to discuss the nitty gritty as explaining how to reuse the data using
only the information you provided herein is not practical.

For example, when I hear somebody describe data being displayed
via an RS232 interface I think 'green screen' where the data is being
displayed as text on a display that only supports ASCII characters
commonly colored green displayed on a black background similar to
what we may see by opening a DOS command shell in Windows.
The data is acquired via the RS232 interface which is more commonly
called a serial port.

This sounds like an organizational objective. If you and I are on the
'same page' and your organization is motivated to discuss this further
I can continue to be helpful.
