First of all, thanks to Micah for his explanations.
I'm posting this on the seawolf list too because I forgot to do it the
first time.
The short story is that I should move an ASP/NT/IIS web site to
ASP/APache/Linux, and that PHP conversion is not an option in this case.
( I need to show to the "Yeah, whatever" guy quoted below that he can
switch to the penguin with zero or very little effort, and he's not
going to learn perl or PHP).
Hence the question: once I have copied all the asp pages on a Seawolf
box, can
I make Apache run them?
And ( to complete the answer to Micah) would his suggestions work for
any ASP site, even if the language used was VBScript?
TIA,
Marco
