FWIW - 9iAS R1 = Forms 6i

       9iAS R2 = Forms 9i
I'm supporting both C/S forms & webforms using a single source base for all three targets. We are making obsolete the 9iAS R1 because it has serious memory leak in the f60webm utility; which "serves" the R1 webforms.

While 9iAS R2 ia a real PITA to get properly setup, it performs & scales MUCH better than R1.
