  I tried to use Microsofts IDC ODBC interface for NT but I found that it 
was to limiting so I moved to perl and the ODBC modules. The access seems

(hahahahah) when performance becomes an issue. (alternatively ill try to 
figure out how the the ISAPI perl module works.)  


One of the great things about  Perl is its portability: The NT-ODBC perl 
program was originally a OraPerl (Oracle database on various SUNs) which 
changed to DBI then to a postgres Perl program (on a solborne which 
wouldn't run Oracle).  Each time only the data access module was changed
