Interesting, nobody has ever explained hailstorm in those terms to me. The demos used MSXML parser but we connected with borland and other non microsoft platforms to use the SOAP demos. My impression was that I could setup everything (using Linux) for intranet connections without any fees?

Had to install an updated glibc (on the Kylix install disk for RH 7.0) to get Kylix installed. And so far I'm just learning. I noted that the extra CD has several books on Kylix and wonder if you have checked any of them?
