The advantage of CGILIB is that it is faster in many cases than using the CGI APIs because you can avoid writing the routines that need to occur before the APIs are actually called. Also, there are, as you said, many, many additional helper functions, such as ToAscii() ToEbcdic(), UnEscape, cgiStdOut(), cgiObfuscate() and others that make it easy to do CGI programming with CGILIB or even if you decide you need to call the raw/native APIs themselves. The other thing you get with this method is the ability to use MS FrontPage 2003 to edit your HTML instead of some crazy bloatware. (Remember, FrontPage was bought by MS and improved, it isn't a typical MS program.) You could also use DreamWeaver or HomeSite, or even, SEU (yuk!). -Bob Cozzi www.RPGxTools.com RPG xTools - Enjoy programming again. -----Original Message----- From: web400-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:web400-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Douglas W.
