Thanks for the info Jim...

I was wondering about the Brad Stone books and thought about
ordering the two books.

IBM has done their usual miserable job of providing all the tools
but no driving instructions. I can't believe the lack of "tools" for this
part of the system.

I assume Websphere(Webs Fear) is the big
time tool for web development ???

The CGI stuff I found but I have not taken the time to go
through the Easy400 stuff, which I think was developed by
one SE in Italy, who recently retired.

I got a lot of reading to do...
