About DynaMorph
DynaMorph enables a website or application developer to employ the power of
CGI programming directly inside of HTML documents without the need for
advanced PERL or C++ programming skills. DynaMorph has database
connectivity for all ODBC-compatible databases on Windows NT/95 and Mac
servers as well as native database support for UNIX-based databases. Also
available with the current release are PC- and Mac-Authorize plug ins which
provide real-time, credit card authorization directly from any webserver.
DynaMorph is the only true cross-platform server-side scripting engine,
with support for Windows NT/95, Mac OS and UNIX. This enables web
development companies (or internal IS/Web departments) to perform site or
application development work on Macs or PCs, yet deliver their work to
clients running websites, intranets and web-based applications on NT or
UNIX platforms. A website or application built using DynaMorph can
literally be moved from one computer to another, independent of the
operating system, and work automatically with no additional effort
required.
With DynaMorph, it is easier to perform the tasks associated with website
creation and maintenance as well as to develop sophisticated web-based
applications which previously required an intimate knowledge of CGI
programming. Examples include discussion forums, chat servers, on-line
scholastic testing systems, interactive training, adaptive information
publishing, product registration, and electronic commerce.
