Stevio, Just answering for us, we have a few tools that can be used to build WWW-based origins - specifically we have an extension to the PHP language for the programming types (works under several webservers, including MS IIS), and a complete, configurable plugin to Apache for the non-programming types. You can also write WWW-based origins using our Z39.50 extension to Tcl (although I wouldn't recommend that today). You could also use Mike Taylor's Perl API (or presumably any of the others) in CGI scripts or under mod_perl, or you could use the Java toolkit from Knowledge Integration to develop servlets. There's links to these from our homepage. These are just the freely licensed tools that I know off the top of my head -- there's several others around.. the Z39.50 Maintenance Agency keeps some links you could look at. There's not so many good tools around yet for the Visual Basic crowd, and I don't know why that is.. we're working on one, but we don't have a release date yet (actually, I do know why -- it's pretty hard to do well). --Sebastian At 11:52 06-06-01 +0100, Stevio wrote: >Where would I get these tools?
