[snip] I've been facing this problem myself recently. For building database driven e-commerce sites I think it would be hard to beat the functionality of `Interchange'. Details are available from: http://www.redhat.com/software/interchange/ http://www.icdevgroup.org/cgi-bin/ic/index To see what its capable of see the demo. Although this application is regularly tested under Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris setting it up requires a decent knowledge of your OS. You will also need to have a web server up and running on your box. That said, I can assure you that it is worth the effort. The mailing list is very useful. I don't think it is in the ports tree but it really should be. Note that it needs a recent version of perl to run well. Many regards, Richard mahoney P.S. For writing and validating static html the `Emacs' with `psgml' is worth considering. -- +--------------- r i c h a r d . m a h o n e y ----------------+ 78 Jeffreys Road telephone:+64-3-351-5831 Christchurch New Zealand cellular:+64-25-829-986 +----- r b m 4 9 @ e x t . c a n t e r b u r y . ac . n z -----+ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
