Seeing no argument, marking this complete 2004-07-19. Remember, we will never redistribute .NET or the isapi_aspnet.dll Microsoft modules. The user will be responsible for installing them, themselves. Ian, incubator/site/projects/httpd-cli.cwiki is updated, could you regenerate please? Next step, finish the .bat / free MC++ compiler build system for this module, and create the release candidate for vote on httpd-cli. Once/If accepted, we will petition the incubator and httpd to accept us, as incubated. Bill
