Shawn, the original link I posted in regards to this was http://www.indigostar.com/microweb.htm
as per their site - --------------------------------------------- Create a working web site on a CD-ROM. MicroWeb allows you to create a working web site on a CD-ROM. Using a web browser, a user can run CGI programs as well as view html files on the CD-ROM. To view the website the end user only has to run the microweb.exe program on the CD-ROM, there is nothing to configure. This will automatically start a web browser for viewing the website. MicroWeb provides support for MySQL, it will automatically start a MySQL server if one is included on the CD. There is no royalty on each CD containing the runtime distributed and there is no limit on the number of CDs that can be distributed. A license is required only for your development machine. ------------------------------------------------- seems to be exactly what I need exact wrong languages. Anyhow they have some other products for per and such. jay Shawn Regan wrote: >What is the freeware product, you are talking about?
