THANKS!!Well, I'm sure we all appreciate your enthusiasm, but it's a little hard to offer a broad comment on our experiences with the product. At this point, I would heartily recommend three things:1) Read the on-line reference as thoroughly as possible to familiarize yourself with the abilities of WebCat, and study the syntax behind the General Store example that Grant has put together, before you begin writing any of your own. 2) Look at and download some example syntax from any of the sites that are currently using WebCat--there's a listing at the Pacific Coast site (http://www.smithmicro.com/), and make use of the code as building blocks for your own site where possible. 3) If you have a specific question, post it to the list, including the syntax in question, and Grant, John or one of us will usually reply in short order.Good luck!-- Gil Poulsen, Webmaster************************************************************** * AltiM@c * Phone: (908) 469-2567 * * 126 Jerome Avenue * FAX: (908) 469-5823 * * South Bound Brook, NJ * e-mail: help@altimac.com * * 08880-1111 * WWW: http://www.altimac.com * **************************************************************
