Larry,

  A couple other areas you can look into would be:
1.  The LeeTech CSF (Client Server Foundation) which can allow your
NT based web server to call a CGI program utilizing the CSF to talk
over a LAN to the 3000 which would be running the host version of the
CSF and your host program.  This gives you (in essence) a three tier
client/server approach {PC/MAC <-> NT httpd <-> 3000 host}.  This
method provides for high flexibility and speed, but everything all of
your code would be pretty much customized (if you have your own
programming staff, this may not be an issue).
2.  Allaire Inc. has a product called "Cold Fusion" which runs on the
same system as your web server (must be win95 or NT based) that
allows you to embed what they call 'CFML' (Cold Fusion Markup Language)
tags into your 'HTML'.  When a page containing CFML is to be delivered
to a client, it is first 'preprocessed' by their CGI program before going back
to the httpd process.  In this fashion, you can do some pretty powerful tasks
and its all based in the same HTML file.  It interacts with standard 32-bit
ODBC drivers for databases access.  It "should" (I've not tried it yet) work
with the existing and soon to be released 32-bit ODBC drivers for the 3000.
You can setup Cold Fusion to 'keep alive' the ODBC connection for a set
amount of time between hits, so you won't incur that overhead each time
a client requests some 3000 based information.  This method isn't as quick
as the LeeTech solution, but it is easy to implement and maintain.  Depending
upon whose 32-bit ODBC drivers you would utilize, you may also need to
setup your database using Image/SQL as well.

Subject:  [HP3000-L] Web Browser Access to TurboIMAGE

We are attempting to have Web browser access (from Netscape and MS
Explorer), from both Mac and IBM-compatible, through a Web server running
Windows NT to get to our HP3000 with a TurboIMAGE database with a continuous
("open state") connection for interactive updating. We are aware of a
product called Autobahn from Speedware USA inc. to do this. Does anyone know
of a comparable software solution?
Thanks,
Larry Chase
