Hi Torsten

Thanks for your reply. I think the client is after a stock control system
and online shop, which will be linked together. I don't know much about
OFBiz - it seems it can do this but I don't know a) what kind of application
OFBiz is, even what language (Java, Perl, etc) it is written in b) what kind
of hosting is required c) what kind of back-end DB is required or if OFBiz
uses an internal storage format.

Ideally I would like to design and develop the shop myself and link into
OFBiz to retrieve a list of products I should display - the stock control
can then all be handed off to OFBiz. But I don't know how realistic this is.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Jay
