RE: IBM http server -Reply

If you're a strong RPG programmer and want to use RPG instead of Net.Data, I
would look at the January,1998 Issue of Midrange Computing to get started.
It gives you the basics of using RPG as CGI for building HTML.  It got me
going...  I'm working on a (hopefully) 3 part series on advanced CGI
programming using RPG that in the end, the reader should have a fully
functional discussion forum running on their AS/400.  Cookies, recursion,
lots of procedures, all that fun stuff.  And using RPG is the nicest reason.
