Actually, my understanding is that Delphi is more a peer to C++.  I don't=20
know what use it could be on a Web site other from programming COM objects=

maybe?  Never heard of any being done with it though but I certainly am no=

COM objects programmer...  On the other hand, some major Windows=20
applications such as Eudora, HomeSite and Cold Fusion Studio for example=20
are programmed in Delphi.
