Hi, Tammy...

Yes, I recently created a paper document for a web site...about 30 pages.
Well, kinda...the document was converted to PDF and put up on an internal
FTP site

It is for a Netscape browser interface to a set of CGI-driven query forms
performing SQL queries to a UNIX database. A user, based on a predefined
User Profile, would see a custom designed query form and a series of custom
output tables.

Because a user would see a custom site based on their login ID, it was
necessary to create a conditional document for 4 profiles. The conditional
documents contained conditional screens, menus, login procedures, features,
etc. for each of the login profiles.

Now...what was the question again?

BTW...To all of you recruiters in NJ/NY TW land...I've been given notice
that my contract here is being converted to perm effective the end of
September and since I've made my feelings free about staying a contractor,
I'm free to pursue other opportunities (it is totally amicable). My updated
resume will be on my web by the end of this weekend...any cool opportunities
coming up?
