RE: [WDSCI-L] JVM Update for WebSphere Development Studio Client V5.1.2 available

[michael@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I don't think WDSC will help or hurt CGI development. It may not be the
best tool to use since it's more suited to Java and JSP development.
CGI is essentially non-dynamic forms - I don't think you need an
environment like WDSC for that - Notepad or some HTML editor would work
fine.

CGI is a good tool. I wrote a CGI program that other day that was the
right fit. Developing something in Java under WAS would have been silly
- my CGI program fit the bill.
