Hi Andru,

I guess I forgot to mention that DWI is essentially a competitor
to bond. :-) or is that :-(

Ohh, this would be !great! I've been daydreaming about this for quite a
while.  Is this available? a seperately installable package? part of
bond?

Hmm. I'm not sure what you mean.   If I use glade to design a simple
form, using mostly nothing but gtkentry and gtkbutton, then this should
be fairly straightforward? Or is it that you can't tell what the submit
button is frm glade?

Yeah, my first impulse is raw cgi, but I figured the php people would
riot, so ...
