That doesn't particularly mean much. Which version of microweb were you running (that would make it significant information)?

The product is a great idea but it needs a bugfix before we can distribute apps on CD to people running unknown OS

That is not the intent of microweb (running on an unknown OS, it runs on any Win32 platform, and yes, I do regret to say I've ran 1.16 successfully on WinME).

update: I have written a rudimentary web server in java, which I might complete someday(originally for $$ for jerrygarciuh, but after his client changed the specs, I stopped work on it, maybe i'll open source it and put it on javajunkies.org).

Here's a little quote for you from the Microweb user manual:

V1.16 Oct 8 2001
Fixed: Data posted from a form to a CGI would sometimes display a blan
+k page.
Fixed: An aborted browser connection requesting a CGI would sometimes 
+produce a GPF
Added mime types .pdf=application/pdf & .exe=application/octet-stream
Fixed: Env var PATH_INFO is not set (extra path after a real cgi or fi
+le)
Ini file setting in current directory will override setting from progr
+am directory
- previously it was only read from current directory
Undo fix for AOL, use the default browser
Allow alias for cgi-bin
Changed color of the 16x16 icon to light blue, so it shows better on t
+he start menu's gray background instead of the gray.
WorkOfflineTitle option now accepts a list of semicolon separated titl
+es. default =Off line werken and Work Offline is built-in
Fixed: Does not support streaming audio/video
positioning the scroll bar to the middle causes the audio to be stream
+ed from the start. 
URL of the form foo.htm?foo=bar now works
[download]

Yes I knew my message did not mean much but was so frustrated, and now I found (after 3 hours and 50 reboot) what was wrong: MYSELF!!!: I did my testing with a script that didn't do a good error checking, there was a file that had to be opened that I forgot to copy on the two systems that crashed. Grrrr^%$%##. Now my script works fine. I still do not understand why the demo didn't work either.....probably another stupidity from my side. Very sorry about that, I'll continue my tests and let you know. If you know of any incompatibility please tell me, I would like to distribute something to our Africa partners who know very little about computers and may even run Win3.1.
