I, for one, think Brad should be commended also. In 240 pages he took, what
seemed impossible to do (Rpg-Cgi), and made it easy. Yes, IBM developed the
API's to read and write to the HTTP server, but in the usual IBM fashion,
they made the most unreadable documentation they could. Brad has a gift for
separating the wheat from the chaff and getting to the point.

I think the AS/400 has a great e-future, but only if we start using the darn
thing for e-business. Heck the Midrange site and my pet peeve (Major-Dodo)
are Unix based. How about putting some effort together and write some good
stuff for the AS/400 and not leave it all up to Brad.

Jay
