It had an architecture similar to AOL Server, just that the founders did their own thing instead.

Tcl was used for almost everything, C for performance critical modules and DB FFI.

The interpreter was loaded as an Apache module.

We supported Informix, MS SQL Server, Sybase SQL Server and Oracle.

All major UNIX variants from late 99's and Windows NT/2000.
