Web-based external database construction

[Robert H. Terry]

Hi,

MOREplus is just such a tool and plus, it is a commercial product that we 
continue to improve upon.  It is essentially adding a DBMS like layer to 
manage, maintain, report, search, and browse your WWW site.

http://rbse.mountain.net/MOREplus/

It is Oracle based, but as Oracle resellers we can offer significant 
discounts on the Oracle pieces needed.  We also offer 50% off the $20,000 
intial price for Academic institutions such as yours.  After the 1st year 
you get 50% the $3,500 fee for support, maintainance and upgrades.

Hope this commercial answer is acceptable to the members of this list.
