Instead of forking off additional services like the UNIX version, I understand that it actually operates as a multithreaded single server process. Their version comes as Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0 projects, however. This means, among other things, that it doesn't need the cygnus winsup DLL to run. It also means to compile the source code, you need MS VC++... Take a look at http://www.apache.org and read up on Apache 1.3... :) +---[ Loki ]------------+---------------------------------------------------+ | Jeremy Blackman | NeonMuck coder/maintainer - Multimedia MU*! | | loki@maison-otaku.net | http://www.maison-otaku.net/neon | +-----------------------+---------------------------------------------------+ - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
