>I am researching a way to upgrade our current application so that it is accessible via the web. The current app in on a DEC-ALPHA. It is in an Oracle database. It is HUGE. Currently our customers have to Telnet to it or have a DEC workstation directly tied to the DEC-ALPHA. They want the entire application rebuilt so that the Oracle db resides on an NT and is accessed/used entirely via web pages. Can anybody help me to understand what would be the best choice of tools (and why) to use to build the web version of this app using an Oracle Db on an NT server????? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Windows NT or 2000 include a Web server called Internet Information Server or IIS.
You program dynamic pages with an IIS technology called Active Server Pages or ASP.
The server side code that you write is either in JScript (JavaScript compatible) or in VBScript (a subset of Visual Basic).
Your scripts can also call COM objects (code compiled to DLL files).
To access your Oracle database, you use database objects called Active Data Objects or ADO.
All of this is included in your Windows NT/2000 licence.
