First, Apache 1.3 is a 1998 release that has been obsolete since 2002. If it doesn't build with a new compiler, noone is likely to be interested in taking the trouble to update it. Second, all Apache 1.x is a UNIX-based server, whose porting to other platforms - particularly Windows - was always hackish. It worked on windows, but noone ever claimed it worked well. Proper cross-platform support was one of the changes in Apache 2. -- Nick Kew Application Development with Apache - the Apache Modules Book http://www.apachetutor.org/
