To add a little bit to this conversation, one thing I heard about the .NET technology is that it supports multiple scripting languages in one file. Not that it would really (usually) be the best thing, but that means that you can use Perl, C#, PHP and ASP.NET all in the same file.. ;), Wouter -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
