Q.
We are using NetWare 5.1 servers. We are planning to use Active Server Pages (ASP) to create new Web sites, but we don't have our own Web server, as our current HTML Web pages are hosted out of house. I would still like to know how to set up an ASP development environment on a NetWare system.

Dear Webbing: Rather than use ASP, which is pretty much tied to the Windows platform, use Java Server Pages (JSP) which is very fast on NetWare and has the added advantage of being portable. Or, wait for the upcoming PHP: Hypertext Processor for Apache. PHP is a widely-used Open Source, general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML. Its syntax draws upon C, Java, and Perl, and it is easy to learn. The main goal of the language is to allow Web developers to write dynamically-generated Web pages quickly, but you can do much more with PHP.
