Incidentally, those aren't so much language features, they're more features of the AOLserver/Tcl API and environment. "Tcl" didn't have nsv_* or ANY of the cool stuff above until Jim Davidson and crew added them to AOLserver sometime c. the mid 1990's, after all... Some languages, and especially language implementations, would no doubt be much more amenable to supporting those sorts of AOLserver derived APIs than others, of course. But if you pick an appropriate language and implementation to start with (e.g., JavaScript Spidermonkey, Lua, some Scheme systems), it's PROBABLY "just" a Simple Matter of Programming. :) -- Andrew Piskorski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.piskorski.com/ -- AOLserver - http://www.aolserver.com/ To Remove yourself from this list, simply send an email to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with the body of "SIGNOFF AOLSERVER" in the email message.
