Re: [MacPerl] Quid Pro Server

[Joel Rees <joel_rees@sannet.ne.jp>]

Hello, 

In case you missed the suggestion for NetPresenz 
(<http://www.stairways.com>), let me repeat it. It is shareware, but only 
$10, and it is a very good starting point. It should work with Sys 7.6 
just fine, but its big feature for me was the tutorial on web serving 
that comes with it.

On the other hand, you might want to go ahead and upgrade to Mac OS 8, if 
you have the money. I'm running 8.1 on a Performa 630, and it is not 
slower than 7.5, and it is more stable. I admit, I've maxed my RAM at 36M 
and hung on a 4GB outboard SCSI HD. (Couldn't find anything smaller, and 
I had hoped to be able to load MacBSD (UNIX).) The 250M internal drive 
was kind of tight for internet use with Mac OS 8.

Another option may be to get onto Apple's site and look for the OT 
downloads. You'll need to check whether OT 1.3 will run under sys 7.6, 
however.
