ROFL. Yes.. I know all about Front Page's issues and would be one of the first to say it should be abandoned. Regrettably it is a situation I have been "drafted" into. Management knows I do a lot of work with WebSphere MQSeries and WebSphere Application server. They saw the "web" in those and figured I would be the perfect resource for solving their problem. In any case, convincing management and our so-called web developers to stop using the extensions is an up-hill struggle at best. I am working that angle but my expectations are low so I figured I would pose the question here. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
