Andy, I thought my point was obvious. I was trying to draw out some
comments on the pros and cons of considering Java as a web language.
Since this is a VFP forum and one that I subscribe to I was soliciting
opinions from VFP users with a similar background. I use VFP as my
primary development tool and will continue to do so. Unfortunately,
I will not be able to use VFP or VB (another popular M$ product) on
a UNIX box.
See the great reply from Robert Horkay - that is what I was after...
