	Thanks ... help me understand what the difference is between
	hp700 and hp800 -- are they binary compatible? What does the
	term "snake" cover?

	You mean www will or, httpd?  Or inetd? www shouldn't use the
	/etc/services file. Whats a 300?

	Shucks --I thought we'd done all that in the 0.4 release!
	What are the functions which needs de-ansiing?  We compiled in
	on a sun ok, thought that was basic enough cc.

	We are considering forming a consortium to allow lots of contribution
	and well-defined sharing of code, and a role for commercial
	participation (buying, selling, sponsoring!)

	There is a list of "how to support the web" on the project page.
	I guess a server at HP might be comercially tricky unless for
	marketting info?  Any tools, neat server scripts all gratefully accepted!
	And pass the word around...
