Just a heads up, Brian, as I think you use WIN98. I was reviewing my
howto which I did for W2K (company documentation; production server)
and was repeating it on my WIN98 development machine just to clean it
up and take out the company-specific stuff, and encountered a couple
of obscure items.

Went to bugtraq to see if there were reports and found the following:
http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21109

No other info (it was only reported yesterday).

Essentially, during the upgrade process, you get the Apache Services
Monitor installed in the Systems Tray (as per previous WIN98
installs), but it does not function to stop the server upon request.
However, at this point, you also don't get the DOS console windows
running that you can minimize to the Task Bar (that's a bonus).

I'm going to play around with this to see what's up, but have to do
some prelim stuff first.

Regards,
TOG
