-> Theres already a weblord in development.. Being done in java.. yeah, i
-> know.. java can be nasty.. heres why java was used..

I'll assume the applet will connect to a "special" server on another port?

-> asp, php, perl, etc cant be compiled, and thus arent dsitributable..
-> being a commercial program, cant give out the source and all.. java can
-> be.. the other languages also cant do persistant connections, and thus
-> internode activity cant be done.. java can do that too.

PERL is certainly a bad choice.. However "ASP" ?

-> Will the web version be able to run on public webservers such as
-> geocities, angelfire, and the like? no.. the program needs to create
-> files, which public servers wont allow for.. the server also needs to
-> run the weblord server.. meaning, you have to have your own webserver to
-> run it..

Absolutely makes sense..!

-> it runs on nix, windows, mac, and os2.. soo, most everyone can run it
-> (sorry amiga people.. heh)

NT - wave of the future... :)

-> time to get back to dinner :)

I had rice.. :)

Cool, thanks Michael.  Is there a "web page" for the development progress?

Shannon
