PowerHouse WEB

[Mark Stewart]

I think PowerHouse WEB would be excellent for the
small, one-off, utility type programs like you say
Bob.  

I need to find out what one of those single user
PowerHouse WEB development license cost.  I think I
might be able to get the manager to put up some cash
for it.
