[Stins, D. <DR...@he...>]

Dear All,

One of the activities on my list is integration with a webshop. OScommerce
might be a good choice.

About SOAP:
I think that nusoap could be a quick start to implement this.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/nusoap/

It is probably better portable then free commercial products like Glue of
Webmethods.

With best regards,

Dick Stins
