Greetings,

    I worked with Brad Balfour and Bill Pritchett on the Airfields 
effort (hi guys) and can readily second (third?) their endorsement of 
the OIS AdaConnect package.

    However, IF the goal is _simply_ to connect Oracle to a web page, 
and not necessarily to demonstrate a successful usage of Ada, then why 
not simply pull down Netscapes server with Oracle support?

    The technology works.  It is in place and operational.  I cannot 
discuss the specific implementation site publicly.  The company I am 
working for is a Netscape partner and the server may be alpha/beta.  We 
are currently implementing a series of database 
add/update/delete/modify/report applications for the same commercial 
customer.  

If Ada is required/desired then I strongly support OISs entire product 
line.

Regards,
