Re: [Bug-gne]ID and password server

[Tom Chance]

Ah ok then. We should port it to something like mySQL
though, to make it properly free. How versatile is asp
by the way? Because when Rob Scott and I came up with
a system of Perl +mySQL, we though perl to be the best
language because of its power. We don't know much
about asp though, to be honest.

Mind you if you're interested we worked out all the
fields necessary, the field types, and other fine
details, and how the process of submission and
retrieval would work. It's the same as your system,
only with asp as the parsing language, and text files
as the body of text storage.
