Could anyone tell me why you would need to purchase a web connection package such as West Wind?

Our company are now evaluating a FoxPro 5.0a search engine for the web that interogates a VFP table and returns a list of items - basic stuff.

We have NT4 + IIS but it seems that we have to buy a web connection tool to link this to FoxISAPI + Server application. Do we need it? How do I justify it? Is anyone out there?


Many thanks in advance to anyone who takes time out to answer my question.
