Yes, I think the "template" API in both products is based on the traditional
workstation metaphor.  Relational-Web carries the metaphor a bit further by
supporting subfile I/O.  An example of the subfile read changed record
procedure:

Dow wtnLstRdc(recordName)

... Process changed subfile row ...

Enddo

Most HTML generation technologies are based on dispatching a request to an
HTML page (Active Server Pages, Java Server Pages, Net.Data, Cold Fusion,
PHP, FreeMarker) where executable scripting elements are embedded in the
HTML page.  That's fine for simple queries, but I think the traditional
workstation metaphor makes more sense for database maintenance applications.

Hopefully no one gets the idea that Relational-Web is a wrapper around
CGIDEV2.  The template API in Relational-Web offers 200-300% better
performance, and other more significant aspects related to workload
management and scalability.
