: What you need is to learn something about CGI Programming, and some
: HTML, as you have to get femiliar with the htp and htf packages for
: programming procedures for the web. So Pro*C program will need to be
: changed, and reprogrammed. Consider porting it to Stored procedure and
: PL/SQL cartridge instead of implementing the same in Pro*C.

Do you HAVE to use Pro*C for the CGI codes? Any alternatives? (why Pro*C instead of C?) Is Perl too insecure to use or what?? What about well-written shell scripts?? ....hehe
