TCl vs. Java, any others for the melting pot? As far as extending any 'Java' client, all you need (and I think someones allready mentioned this) is a system similar to SNMP MIB's, i.e. directions to the client where to put check boxes, text fields, what they should contain (labels), how to verify them (field masks etc.) - I'll freely admit it's a thin line between Java, TCL, cgi & someones bound to mention Active-X <g> Kp Jordan K.
