Grrrr! Well, it looks like I'll have to code this in JS and my JS kung fu is not anywhere near my Perl-fu but by all accounts and super search etc. JS looks like the best route to platform independance (I don't code Java at all). Pretty much all of the mini-server software is made for Win32, and I have to have this for Mac and PC (like 20,000 cds going out). If anyone has advice, I'd appreciate it, the JS 'community' is not supportive like Perl's.
TIA
