RE: CGI, RPG

Please explain how C or C++ is a "better language for CGI programming"?!
I can kinda see how you'd say this about Perl... if you weren't on an
iSeries where Perl, quite frankly, sucks.  But C?  You've got to be
kidding me. C is an absolutely awful language for CGI.

I have no experience with NET.DATA.

PHP and ColdFusion are really nice for server-side web scripting...
Depending on what you're doing, there's a really good chance that they'll
be easier to use than RPG.  But C?  No way.
