Your requirements aren't clear. 1. Do you need GUI ? 2. Is it for yourself, or Do you expect to distribute it to others/users/customers If this is **for personal use only**: Then consider using some scripting language like Perl/Python In case you need GUI, then GUI bindings like QT, wxWidgets, Tk are available for Python at least (Others indicate such support is available for Perl as well) (Personally my vote goes for Python with QT) The doubts are : How to aprroach it without the use of C, C++, Java or any > web based application. As others have pointed out, it is not clear why this restriction ? If you want to distribute it to others, then C/C++/Java or Web based may be the way to go. Do not expect non-technical users to install Python/Perl with QT-bindings to use your application. In that case, Web based app may be easiest for the end users/customers, followed by standalone C/C++ app. I would say Java as last option, since users/customers would still need to install JRE at least (Again, which version(s) of JRE do you test against/support ?) Finally, If I have read too much into your "simple" request, I apologize. -Mandar _______________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List
