Re: CGIDEV2 HTML directives

[Joe Pluta <joepluta@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for posting Giovanni's reply, David!

And just as a side note - I have used CGIDEV2 in every place I've ever 
worked.  I use it extensively for creating XML documents, even if they 
don't get sent via web browser.  CGIDEV2 is fantastic for creating a 
template and filling it in with repetitive (or not so repetitive) 
enterprise data.

Yes, there are other tools, but the simplicity of an RPG program and a 
text editor is hard to beat.
