The sort of thing you're describing works particularly well with a Web-based front-end. I'd advise you to look at the PHP scripting language (http://www.php.net/). PHP makes it quite easy to write a Web-frontended application which uses, say, Postgres or MySQL as back-end. -- V Johann Visagie | Email: wjv@CityIP.co.za | Tel: +27 21 419-7878 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
