We use the Socket server with Midas and it works real well on 95/98. There
is a JMidas I beleive but you'd be in fairly tricky territory. You could
always go with Corba which has good support under linux and other OS's.
Delphi clients are possible with the Visibroker download for Delphi.

Remember spreadsheet compilers? They were the tools for accountants who
thought they could write programs with 123. I see web programmers in the
same camp.
