Alain : Microsoft never ceases to astonish me.But what astonishes me
even more is why all those poor folk are still using it !!
> Adrian : I'll also be able to get my hands on a copy of Quid Pro Quo

Alain : OK, but why use this instead of WebSharing or NetPresenz? These
are the web-server tools that I have been toying with lately? Are you
familiar with QuidProQuo? Is it better than my current choices?
Alain : By the way, I have come across several methods of testing CGI
programs WITHOUT being connected to the Internet. Interested?
