I am downloading the Delphi 5 trial as the moment (1 hour to go).

Its a M$ technology which is why I think nobody here has used it before.
Cut from the MSDN help:
A webclass is a Visual Basic component that resides on a Web server and
responds to input from the browser. When you create an IIS application, you
create its webclasses using the Webclass Designer. Webclasses typically
containwebitems and the code that delivers those webitems to a client.
As I understand it it's basically a COM object which talks to an IIS.
