Excellent find, nice work. However, if it is found that there are "X" many PHP programs running payroll applications, does that mean that those PHP programs are *not* web applications? I don't think that it does. I was surprised to see Ruby in the same catagory as Perl and Python, when it came to Scientific apps. I always thought of Ruby as being used for database oriented web-based stuff. Just goes to show what I don't know. I can tell you this much for sure: when it comes to UNIX system scripting, Perl is the leader, with Python as a solid second. Unless, maybe, you count bash & bourne, which I don't because those are not multi-purpose languages. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
