You might also like to know that I've had very good results with Xitami on
Win98. It's pretty much plug and play, and drives Python CGI quite
beautifully (as long as you can accept the per-script interpreter startup).
It also handles Python long-running web processes well (Robin Dunn was
involved in Xitami's origins), and drives Webware well, though not as well
as it will when I get round to writing a purpose-built adapter.

Give it a try: http://www.xitami.com
