Rev vs. AJAX...Or Web-Aware Apps vs. Web Apps

[Pierre Sahores]

Hi Alex,

Perhaps would this link help, with all my apologies about my froggy's  
english !,  in about building web applications servers (instead of  
simple cgis) in using Rev. Works well there since 1998 (linux and osx  
servers) : <http://istream.homeunix.com/insead/index_en.html>

Best,
