I already have Apache/PHP/MySQL installed on my Windows machine. My 
interest is for using on other peoples' (clients, etc) machines when I 
am on-site, en route, travelling, etc.  Also, I tried to get my lawyer 
wife to start up the webserver in my absence so I could access some 
source code I left behind (doh!). I literally had to walk her through 
the procces of downloading Badblue and installing it over the telephone 
-- long distance.

I'm envisioning a simple, tiny, instant server infrastructure. Something 
secure that fits on a diskette -- maybe includes some sort of limited 
Windows telnet to root through my file system and set up a P2P/web/mail 
server.

Already got the freeware ZoneAlarm up and running on my computer... 
thanks for your concern.

which makes it like icky PERL.. an overly complicated approach to what 
should be a very simple need to make dynamic websites.  Web pages should 
be basically web content with some neccesary code embedded -- not heaps 
of web content escaped to make it fit into puts() statements.

Well, I'll keep trying.

PS- I hereby found and appoint myself president of SPOTI, the "Society 
for the Proliferation Of Tiny Includes". Every see an installation of 
PERL or Python. Like a megabyte of include files. Who would install such 
a monster?

PPS- By my count 3 typos in my earlier msg. Didn't realize anyone was 
keeping score.

Thanks
