Re: REXX and CGI/web/html on the iSerie

[Evan Harris <auctionitis@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Dave

you may get more response to your question on the Web400 list.

I understand your reasoning for looking at REXX and CGI from your
follow up email but frankly given the dearth of responses you should
take into account that you will be pretty much on your own if you
decide to go down this path. What you gain in terms of being able to
quickly build rexx procedures will be outweighed 10 to 1 or better by
the fact that you will have to figure out everything by yourself.

It might annoy you but it would be better to go the CGI route as there
is a lot more information available to get you up to speed. Working
out the best way forward will be most of the work in my opinion, not
the coding.
