Re: cold fusion 4.5 on Debian

Other people have answered the ColdFusion/Debian part, so I'll put in my two bits on this part. I've done development with CF and I find it somewhat similar to PHP. The quick answer I give to most folks is that PHP is like embedding C or Perl in a web page, where ColdFusion is like embedding COBOL in a web page. There are some things that CF is very good at: I'd like to lift its CFQUERY and CFOUTPUT tags and plop them down in PHP--they make doing a database query and using it to generate an HTML page a piece of cake. It's regular expression support, however, is inferior to PHP's, which has a bunch of functions that essentially implement Perl's regexp engine. I'd say ColdFusion is a bit easier for beginners, since it keeps the HTML tag-based paradigm, but personally I'd choose PHP. -packy -- Packy Anderson [EMAIL PROTECTED] "But then again, you can't be convicted for driving under the influence of a Hershey bar. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Mailing Lists, Deux
Ok, the last mailing list question prompted me to ask a mailing list question myself. Here's my setup--I've got Mailman managing a bunch of lists for an organization, and we have several lists set up to cascade to each other in the following fashion: Regional List --> Statewide List --> Chapter List +-> Statewide List --> Chapter List +-> Chapter List Now, most individuals don't subscribe to the Regional or Statewide lists, they subscribe to their Chapter's list. However, when someone wants to make a Region-wide announcement, they post it to the Region list. Since they're not usually a member of the region list, the message sits until I approve it. After that, however, comes the part I'd like to change: the message cascades down into the statewide lists, where it sits until someone approves it, and then it goes down to the chapter lists, where it sits until the moderators of THOSE approve it. What I'd like to do is have a message from the Region wide list automagically pass through the subordinate lists, without requiring everybody to be on every list (thus defeating the purpose of this list structure). I've thought about making posts to the various lists appear to come from the list itself (since then I could add the parent list as an authorized poster for it's child), but I like the idea of having the mail appear to come from the person originating the message. Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance! -packy -- Packy Anderson [EMAIL PROTECTED] At dinner yesterday, I tried to cut myself a slice of prime rib, but it was only divisible by itself and one.
