Re: Create links "automatically" from files in an IFS folder

[Scott Klement <web400@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

hi Peter,

It would be helpful if you would describe the environment you're doing 
this in.  Do you normally produce web applications in CGIDEV2?  PHP? 
Java?  Net.Data?

Reading the contents of an IFS directory is fairly trivial...  I think 
any of the solutions would be "quick & dirty".  But not knowing the 
environment makes to difficult to give a good suggestion.

for example, I could post a Q&D RPG program using CGIDEV2, but it 
wouldn't seem so "quick" to you if you had to download, install and 
configure CGIDEV2.

Likewise, I could post a Java program, but if you had to buy and install 
WebSphere (and all of the training that goes with administering it) it 
wouldn't seem so quick & dirty to you.

So please describe the environment.
