Hi all,
Here's the deal... got a guy that wants a database written. It should be able to run on Netscrape/IE on either Linux or W$9X without having two versions. This program should be able to run on a single system, ie not online.
Questions::: Is this possible? And would Java (or one of the free Java's) be the right thing to use.
Any ideas would be helpful!
Thanks!

Funny, but I agree with both Samy, and Troy. If you intend to write an interface that runs through a browser and cgi then I think Troy is right. . .Perl is the easiest and probably the best (if there is such a thing) way. If however you want a standalone app then Java or TCL/TK would work well. None of these are all that speedy, but they are pretty portable between the two systems if you are carefull. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Darren R.
