My point being -- why waste time working on something which already works.
Sure you want a light-weight webserver, then the same thing could be said
about Net+.

This is probably a GE discussion anyway.

It's easy to configure and it's the same configuration file whether it be
on *nix or Win32 or BeOS.

btw -- I was never able to get PHP nor Perl working with Robinhood, it's
configuration files were just too weird.

I installed RobinHood with PHP this weekend, had it working in a couple of
minutes. Took a little longer (about 1 hour) to learn enough PHP to convert
my ASP pages and implement them under RobinHood.

Just try getting the latest RobinHood, the PHP handler is there. Then
install PHP in the default location, as I said, worked perfectly first time.
