Actually, Eric assumed that I was reporting on his "small group" 
setup - but I was really talking about the original j7 distribution 
that I run on my Linux mail/web server. My " ) & problem report" was 
for using the initial distribution. It also fails in the facility 
Eric describes below. I continue to be surprised that it works OK on 
a desktop Safari but doesn't on iPod Safari...

I run the j7 instance in a shell that has limited access to the 
general system. I require that remote (or local) users use the 
explicit port number assigned by that host shell. I have the luxury 
of a hardware firewall that blocks "port scans" from the internet, so 
that provides reasonable isolation from "bad guys".

If anyone in the forum is interested in poking at it, I would be 
happy to disclose the current port in a private email exchange with 
the understanding that they would keep it quiet (as I was trying to 
do with Eric's new small group of alpha testers). I have not spent 
any energy on making separate facilities for  users, so all the stuff 
done there is visible to all the users -- at least for the duration 
of a particular task.

Part of why I did this is to see if things were reasonably stable. 
They do seem to be.

I see no reason why you couldn't do this on a Mac with Apache, but I 
am using Linux.
