Hi, That's great news. We tried to write a web interface for WPKG, there was even a small "preview", but no one's working on it anymore (it wasn't well designed, too). If you have something to share, or would like to have some help - let us know. -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
