Suggestion: Perl + DBI + DBD::Informix + DBIx::Chart + ... half-a-hundred HTML generator packages + ... half-a-hundred graphics image manipulating packages + ... lots of other modules on CPAN. (Searching on search.cpan.org <http://search.cpan.org>; with DBIx::Chart comes up with 1246 links - I didn't look at any of them, but there are plenty of options!) -- Jonathan Leffler #include <disclaimer.h> Email: jleffler@earthlink.net, jleffler@us.ibm.com Guardian of DBD::Informix v2005.02 -- http://dbi.perl.org/ sending to informix-list
