Just keep in mind the limitations of web applications so they don't bite you later when the professor asks you to add feature n+1. Generally, - You can't access the client filesystem directly - Access to the GUI requires an active Internet (or at least network) connection - What you can display is dependent on the browser and its plugins. If you want to display something like a pixmap you're out of luck and so on. Something to consider, anyway. Despite many claims to the contrary, reports of the death of the desktop application are greatly exaggerated :) Nick -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
