Re: Appache Extension for FrontPage

Barry & Jeff -- These two instructors want more than the publishing. They
specifically mentioned the ability to create forms and discussion which I
believe require more than server side Java. I will have to check out Chilisoft.

David -- I will also look into the Ready to Run Software.

Biggest problem with both might be cost. In Iowa the state has virtually
eliminated the technology funding support for schools so their budget is very
near $0 for this year. Of course this has helped the iSeries some since the
other instructors were forced to look at what was already available to the
education area.

Thanks All.
