Re: More scripting thoughts Pt. 2 (was RE: Accessible road maps)

sadly though there are many web apps today.  The difference between the
functional needs of the web though whether it be as app or document is that
it is as bob says, World Wide.

We are not talking about programs here, we are talking documents.  I think

PROGRAM.  If you want networking applications, write a program.  If you
want to convey information, use the web.
