Please explain how C or C++ is a "better language for CGI programming"?! I can kinda see how you'd say this about Perl... if you weren't on an iSeries where Perl, quite frankly, sucks. But C? You've got to be kidding me. C is an absolutely awful language for CGI. I have no experience with NET.DATA. PHP and ColdFusion are really nice for server-side web scripting... Depending on what you're doing, there's a really good chance that they'll be easier to use than RPG. But C? No way.
