I agree. One of my hopes in sharing M2Web is to give M programmers and VistA programmers an easy (or at least manageable) path of adaptation to a modern technology that is highly scalable and cross-platform so that they can incrementally extend the skills and knowledge they have built up rather than backing up and starting over. > A brief search of "bookmark" on the projects at sourceforge pulls up >expected hits; only one of which is a web server design running >PHP/MysQL.

I am not sure that I understand all of your project requirements, but it sounds like you want much more than just keeping track of links to web pages with notes and other data fields entered by a user. Am I right in inferring that you also want something of a web crawler to gather and periodically update a collection of multiple versions of the content of the linked pages with diffs from one update to the next? > I thank you for responding to my "pipe dream" with M2Web or other >agnostic or polytheist tools. > > The first thing, which attracted me to this thread and which I don't yet >understand is: > howto setup a fully functioning Fileman on GTM.
