- This message is to announce the availability of a new beta-test version
- of the HTTP server implementation (called "HTTPS") for Windows NT.
- This software allows a Windows NT machine to serve information using
- the World-Wide Web distributed hypermedia system.
-
- HTTPS version 0.3 is an HTTP/1.0 server which runs as a Windows NT
- "Service". Executables for Intel-based systems, and DEC Aplha systems,
- are available.
-
- HTTPS is not a World-Wide Web client. Existing 16-bit Windows 3.1 clients
- run satisfactorily on Windows NT.
-
- The server may be FTP'd from emwac.ed.ac.uk in the directory pub/https.
- There are two ZIP files - one for Intel-based systems, one for Alpha-based
- systems. Be sure you download the right one for your processor.
-
- You may also wish to download the WAISTOOL toolkit for building and
- searching
- WAIS databases, which can be found in /pub/waistool.
-
- New features in 0.3
- ===================
-
- * Can now search locally-held WAIS databases (requires WAISTOOLs
- for Windows NT, also available from EMWAC).
-
- * HTTP transaction log written to text file
-
- Features
- ========
-
- * HTTP/1.0 server which understands HEAD and GET methods.
-
- * Runs as a Windows NT "Service", so that it keeps going even
- when there's no-one logged in to the machine.
-
- * Available for DEC Alpha and Intel architectures.
-
- * Much faster than the SERWEB server ported from Windows 3.1.
-
- * Multi-threaded!
-
- * Logs errors using the Windows NT Event Logger.
-
- * Configuration through the Control Panel.
-
- * Configuration information stored in Registry.
-
- * Optionally logs HTTP transactions.
-
-
- This server has been produced as part of the European Microsoft Windows
- NT Academic Centre (EMWAC) project. EMWAC has been set up to support
- and act as a focus for Windows NT within European academia. It is
- sponsored by Datalink Computers, Digital, Microsoft, Research Machines,
- Sequent and the University of Edinburgh.
-
- A Gopher server for Windows NT is also available for beta test. A WAIS
- server is underway.

- Yes, and then learn about memory buggs in DOS7! But you always can keep
- old autoexec/config's files.
