I think you should take a look at Ruby on Rails[1]. It's a view-model-controller web application framework written in Ruby. It's infinitely easier (and dare I say, better) than any PHP solution. You were thinking of a web application, right? I took it for granted because you mentioned PHP, which is mainly used in webapps. [1] http://www.rubyonrails.org Cheers, Daniel
