Hi!

Thanks for your very informative letter.  Since i read it I'm 
considering to play with Omnihttpd.  As far as i understand it is a 
web server for Win95, right?

However, i'd like to tell you of a gotcha that i personally hit real
hard.  I'm sure you know about this, but just in case you've 
overlooked this particularity of Windows NT.

Under Windows NT it is not true a program has the console trio
(stdin, stdout and stderr) automatically open.  That's only true for
console programs. GUI applications must issue explicitly a
AllocConsole() to have the consolo trio open.


Best regards,
++Hilton
