Hi everyone,
As you know I am quite passionate about DP and the web. I found something a few
weeks ago and did some concept testing with it, and I think it could make life
easier for web deploying small DP apps.
Most people think a big production when they think about a web server, however
for just 58k of executable, TinyWeb, yep for even a fraction of the size of the
DP exectuable, you can run a Win32 commandline program to act as a webserver,
which will run on anything from Win98 upwards.
TinyWeb is so very simple you run the command line
tiny c:\mywebsite
and the files in c:\mywebsite are server up on port 80. With other commandline
options you can have different ports, and bind to specific IP addresses. You
can even support SSL. But for the very simplest applications the
straightforward commandline is all that is needed.
It is free for commercial and non-commercial purposes.
I am thinking of using to provide DP Demo applications as self running CDs. I
haven't done so yet, but I am confident that it would easily be done.
I noticed that someone set up a book on Wikibooks about DataPerfect,
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/DataPerfect I might add a How-To about setting up
DP as a minimalist webapp.
Regards
Brian
