WN doesn't replace CGI's, but it implements some of the more common functions internally, and they happen to be the type that would be heavily used in an online documentation system (searching and filtering). It compiles to a 64K binary so it is no larger (and possibly smaller) than the NCSA httpd. I like having it all in one binary rather than one httpd and a bunch of external CGI binaries or scripts. -- Brian ("Though this be madness, yet there is method in't") Tao taob@gate.sinica.edu.tw <-- work ........ play --> taob@io.org
