Tom,

Wow classic machine, gotta love those! The only HTTPd server I remember 
for classic (by 'I remember' read 'affordable') was SocialEngs server 
which I think is out of business now. I'll propose another option for 
you, not CGI based but RevHTTPd based.

RevHTTPd is a webserver written in Rev, it's pure transcript based so 
it will run on your machine fine. If you just want to share the stacks, 
then that's plain easy, I can show you how to do it, you'll launch the 
app, your mates will point their browsers to your IP and they will see 
a nice page with your stacks available for download. If you want to run 
the stacks on webspace, then you can do it too, just tweek here and 
there and they will run on RevHTTPd, the new version that will be 
debuted in RevConWest is source compatible with libCGI so anything that 
runs in one will run in the other. I think it's pretty cool and that 
you can use it.

I can assist you on that if you explain me better what you're trying to 
do.

Cheers
andre
