I think all they need is the mc.exe file. They don't need to have the home stack and help files. I'm sure I tried this way back when, I used to hand out a stack with the SGI mc file and things ran wonderfully. On Thursday, July 26, 2001, at 05:20 PM, jbv wrote: > > > Nelson, > >> I've creat

As Scott mentioned, mirrors are good but not if people update them willy nilly. The best method would be to write up a script that would maintain the files automatically for you. You can tie it in with cron or any number of tricks. I'm sure there is some sort of GPL mirroring tool out there

Actually, Scott is dying for mirrors. If anyone here understands the high cost of bandwidth (it's expensive after 50gig+). I'm sure if the mirrors are properly setup then that would help him a lot. With Mac OS X and HC *potentially* not being ported over, there may be a high interest in HC

Just a little warning to all the newbies and some experienced users out there. mchttpd is great but it does not *yet* have a wrapper for it. What does that mean? Well, what it means is that if a real malicious MetaCard user wanted to they could write a script to use mchttpd to help them spew out
