I could have easily said the shopping cart contexts as an example of code that does not exist in a mature form in the wild (i.e. free). The [cart] code alone is commonly available in some forms, but I don't know for sure that the number/string being generated is, in fact, unique, like I do for WebDNA.The e-commerce contexts ([orderfile], [addlineitem], [purchase]) hide an enormous amount of backend functionality that only someone who hasn't written code would take for granted. Even the [search] context hides a great deal of sophisticated features, similar to what I have written in Perl (so I am very familiar with the requirements). I can honestly state that, warts and all (i.e. the sometimes odd stacked syntax), the WebDNA [search] context is by far the easiest query language I have ever used.John-- John Peacock Director of Information Research and Technology Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group 4501 Forbes Boulevard Suite H Lanham, MD 20706 301-459-3366 x.5010 fax 301-429-5748 ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
