newbie question

I'd like to create a login page for my website. I already have a list of
logins and passwords for individuals that will have access.
How do I go about create a file with that information to authenticate logins
that apache can use? How do I go about creating a user login and password
form that will work with apache for win32?

some many questions, I can't find docs that will show me how to do all
that...

thanks for the help...

You could use standard http authentication - make a .htaccess file with the
appropriate directives (lookup mod_auth)

I understand that I have to use htpasswd to create a password file for
apache.
But I'm on windowz using the win32 version of apache.
Is there a way to create a password file in windows that apache can use?
