X-Works (WebLink)

Allows you to write CGI scripts in VB & VFP

X-Works works with web server software on a server computer. It allows you to write CGI scripts in Visual Basic, and yet it runs faster than writing in C or Perl. You can use full capacity of VB and access any data sources (remote or local) that are accessible from VB. Examples of data sources: Access, SQL Server, Oracle, Sybase, etc. Data sources can reside on NT, UNIX, AS/400, IBM mainframe, or any other platforms that have proper connections. No temporary files, ODBC, OLE, DDE, Perl script, or slow huge runtime. Simple to program, clean, and fast!

Advantages of X-Works:

Use full VB programming and database capacity. VB becomes your CGI script language No need to learn a new language with limited programming capacity (Perl, proprietary HTML extensions, etc.)
Access any data sources (remote or local) that are accessible from VB
Resident (stay in memory) VB server program. No slow load time
No huge hidden runtime or OLE or DDE or ODBC or Perl shell
Very low demand on CPU time or system resources
Under 1/10 the size: 16K - 26K in size (no hidden runtime), comparing to 250K to 600K
Able to run multiple instances of VB resident server programs (Professional version)
Fault tolerant - with multiple instances of VB server (Professional version), failed instances will not affect other running instances
Far more reliable than any OLE or DDE based solutions
Able to run VB in either interpretative or compiled (EXE) mode
Easy debugging in interpretative mode
Supports multiple IPs or domain names on one web server
Clear upgrade path from Standard version to Professional version
20 - 100 times throughput than any other alternatives. (More information at our web)
Very easy to convert from WinCGI to our X-Works - No re-write of VB code
Over 500,000 CGI transactions a day with Pentium CPU and 64M RAM. Save tens of thousands of hardware upgrade cost
A proven technology: X-Works is used by many satisfied customers in 20 countries across 4 continents, in various real-world applications
Our customers ranging from one-man startup to billion dollar Fortune 500 companies
