... or make your web scripts portable to different web servers and OS's.
I'm working on a portable API at the moment. If there's enough interest I
might be able to talk my management into distributing it, or even
open-sourcing it. This would free up server-side scripters from dependency
on IIS, or (in this case) AOLserver, or Apache, or whatever as long as it
can be made to execute TCL.
