Hello Dina,
In my previous life, the application I worked on implemented a working
version of Z39.50 - infact it's being used in a couple of European
projects - one of which has a site in Greece - University of
Thessoliniki [sp?]. It's successfully working with connections from
the application. Oracle DB, to MacDonnell Douglas library apps, to
GEAC....
The Z39.50 implementation wasn't done via Forms, but via a separate
request processor and C++.
I wouldn't recommend looking at forms as a good interface to this sort
of protocol - there are cheap Z39.50 front ends out there - I can't
remember their names, but they cost about US$50 a throw.
Hope this helps
David Godfrey
