Apache 1.3 has their own official port to WinNT and 95. From what I hear,
it compiles and runs rather nicely. Instead of forking off additional
services like the UNIX version, I understand that it actually operates as
a multithreaded single server process.
Their version comes as Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0 projects, however. This
means, among other things, that it doesn't need the cygnus winsup DLL to
run. It also means to compile the source code, you need MS VC++...
Take a look at http://www.apache.org and read up on Apache 1.3... :)
