Thaqt's startling to me. I've installed it several times myself on Windows (and I know next to nothing about Windows) and all I've had to do on 98 or 2000 was to download activeperl, expand the server.tar.gz, and double click server.pl. We should be able to eliminate the need to download activeperl. Is anyone familiar with perl2exe? > The "average" end-user doesn't want to have to deal with the process > I described above.

This is true, but the biggest issue is not going to be installing the software - we can make that part easy. It's going to be setting up IP addresses. ------------------------ Yahoo!
