Thanks to all who responded.  Chili!Soft's product seems to be the
only one folks on web4lib are using.

To those who pointed me to PHP: thank-you, I already use PHP for web
development, and would myself recommend it to others.  I'm helping a
friend who needs to investigate ASP implementations not requiring MS
IIS.  PHP may well be considered alongside ASP (I will certainly
recommend that it be), but it may be that the developers already know
VB, so that ASP makes more sense for them.

Thanks again,
Chuck
