Mostly being curious. It's just something that popped into my mind when I
read the mail. If I understand your use of equivalent, there may be some
cases where a web would exist as a sub directory as well as under its own
domain name. For example, http://myvirtualserver/ would be equivalent to
http://myhostserver/myuserdir/
This is how HTTP/1.1 stays semi-compatible with HTTP/1.0 browsers. If there
is no Request URI header, then a non-virtual URI is served. Am I
misunderstanding your use of equivalent? Or, would you expect someone to
use another method which I am currently overlooking?

Hmmm, yes, that would be a problem. Start.exe being a stub had slipped my
mind. Albeit bloated, somewhat complex, and several other things, I suppose
one could link perl.lib into SWISH to make it directly understand the
swishspider.pl script. I would call it overboard, given this would only add
Win9x support. Perhaps, a simplified C replacement of the PERL script just
for Win9x. Just enough to be useful for simple projects. If someone needed
the full functionality, they can always use a decent Server platform that
supports shell scripts.
