Probably make it an optional section in both places. Hmmm. Maybe better is that it is required for the project, even if all it says is "Varies, see components." I'm also thinking deeply about what you said vis-a-vis uncgi. Maybe the best thing to do is just write a cgi-bin program in Ada, and if necessary, convert some of the uncgi routines to Ada to avoid any inherent buffer overflow problems. That would allow me to make the actual query screen pure HTML that runs the cgi-bin program to do selections. Of course, for now all I plan is an XML to HTML converter that will allow the entire registry to be viewed as pure HTML. -- Robert I. Eachus "Quality is the Buddha. Quality is scientific reality.
