Not to be too pendantic, but WebSphere is a brand, not an application. Same as Tivoli, Lotus, LinkSys, Mercury, Ford, etc. You probably mean WebSphere Application Server, or WebSphere AS, or WAS, which is a J2EE implementation similar to Tomcat or several other J2EE systems. I don't know the current marketshare, but WAS is not ubiquitous. While free, Tomcat is not universal either, and the two are not 100% interchangable. The suggestion to use the Apache based free HTTP server shipped with the system, because even if they have WAS, it uses that as its base, and Tomcat will use something similar. /ahw > >Thanks for your help. > >Brian > >---------------------------------------------------------------------- >For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, >send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO >Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
