For the techno-literates, Previously, under Win-doze, I was able to use Jan Verhoeven's SERVING program as an HTML-DBMS interface. Unfortunately, it is written in Small Pascal and doesn't run under DOS. It was a lot of work for me to set up, mostly because I'm not a code writer. It would probably be easy for those of you who understand such things..
Nevertheless, it was fun to play with Serving and interface from the web page directly with the data, if only because all my friends said it couldn't be done. I copied the following from one of Serving's update pages, in case the links are of interest to anybody. Bob - - - Serving SmallPascal Update: SmallPascal is based on the Pascal interpreter in the R&A Library 1.51. This excellent Delphi freeware library is created by Andrey Prigunkov and Roman Tkachev. I thank both authors for making this freeware library available. The library can be found at: http://www.infa.ru/black/ralib.htm This help file and the extensions in SmallPascal are written by Jan Verhoeven with Delphi 5.
