Hi Joshua,, First of all...you are absolute right ....my 512K is a 512Ke with 1024MB ram on board!
As you told me I looked at LAMP and Genie. I'm affraid that this is too much for a Mac Plus or Mac 512Ke. I tried it on a virtual Mac with System 7.6 on Basilisk II but I got a -192 error. But maybe the bare bone HTTP server would be a great plan. I could increase my memory on the Plus to 4 MB With a small C program I mean something like this: http://www.sics.se/~adam/miniweb/ But my knowledge of programming is too small to know if you can port this to System 6. And yes... the part of red and blue is true :-) I'm glad I found at least one men on earth who thinks the same about this! I like to combine Mac together and I love TCP over localtalk! I hacked HTTP4Mac with ResEdit to let it listen to HTTP/1.1 calls in stead of HTT/1.0... thats also crazy..but fun!

I have a bare bones HTTP server and a POSIX layer to run it in, currently ported as far back as System 7.1 on a (virtual) Mac Plus -- except that it only supports Open Transport, not MacTCP. In addition to adding MacTCP support, it would need to be patched for System 6 compatibility, and even then it's not likely to run with less than 4 MB of RAM in its current form. Though if you just want a static page and not CGI scripts, that simplifies things... You might take a look at Lamp (Lamp ain't Mac POSIX). Run it on your Quadra (with Open Transport), choose File->New (which creates a new shell window) and enter `inetd`. That runs httpd on port 80 (and a remote shell server on port 23, so you might want to edit /etc/ inetd.conf first to disable that). The Web document root is /var/ www. You could also try it on a Mac Plus running System 7.5.5, though you'd probably want to quit the Finder: `quit MACS`. I don't know if you'll have enough RAM, though.

Besides adding MacTCP support, I'd have to patch Lamp for System 6 compatibility and create a separate distribution which is stripped down to the bare essentials. It might even work. > It would also be very > nice if somebody would be able to port some small C program to System > 6, but Do you mean Mac applications, command-line tools, or something else?
