I propose a demonstration with poster of the UNC-CH Email ID Database Lookup, a HTTP front-end to the Email ID Database on UNC-CH Administrative Data Processing's SYBASE server. The Email ID Database contains email ids, addresses, and phone numbers for members of the UNC-CH community. The demonstration will start at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's home page, move to the directories page, and then the query page for the database lookup. I plan to perform two or three queries to illustrate the lookup features.

The poster will detail what goes on behind the scenes. It will include a diagram of all the components of the application and details of the HTML form, the UNIX shellscript, and the C program that calls the DB-Library routines that perform the query and display the results.
