Is this UNIX Apache or Win32 Apache you're talking about here? It strikes me as horribly irresponsible for any company to bundle their product with a known beta product. Even the direct link for Win32 Apache (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/windows.html) from the Apache HTTPd site has the following caveat: "Please note that at this time, Windows support is entirely experimental, and is recommended only for experienced users. The Apache Group does not guarantee that this software will work as documented, or even at all. <snip> "Warning: Apache on NT has not yet been optimized for performance." If anyone should get busted on the chops here, it's the businesses that are bundling this unsupported product, not the Apache folks. - -Jay ( ( _______ )) )) .- "There's always time for a good cup of coffee" -. >====<--.
