That's about it. ASP/ASP.NET both come with Windows if you install IIS. Where it gets you is implementing anything that requires external libraries like the plethora of PHP extensions available. You either have to write them yourself or buy them from a 3rd-party vendor. Not many of them are free. Even handling file uploading requires a component/library in ASP. I'm not sure about ASP.NET. (I saw it done once without a COM library, but it was neither pretty nor fast.) Andrew -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
