Re: Multiple Use for Minivend

Frank,
Wow....you have been busy with your application of minivend. I am looking 
into another server-side scripting lanquage [ heitml ] to complement 
minivend. This paticular one uses mysql and seems easy to use. What ever I 
use it would be nice if it all can share databases. That is why I was curious 
as to using minivned for this as it would save extra work but may not be the 
most effecient use of the server resources as stated in another message.

Thanks,
Rob
