Advise on enterprize application.

[Andre Garzia]

Trevor,

thanks to your quick response. I was thinking about it... I was trying 
to make one app, not two, but I think that's the way to go, the time 
I'll take to create a HTML interface is bigger thant the one I'll use 
to modify the current rev interface, now let's build a server... 
(heck!)

Andre
