Gladly :-)
When the Donation Button appears it will allow you to give money from
a PalPal account or with a major Credit Card.

Well, I've uploaded some more packages -- actually four, and some more
are in the coming. You say you don't have enough time to check them out.
Wouldn't it be nice to have a beta directory?
There is another issue as well: You'll want ports that you want to
publish, either on this site or on your CD (which as as a business
model I don't believe to much in).
Let us, who want this site to stay on, come on with our ports.
Then, it's up to your decision to make public what you want.
Let's beta be beta. And even more important: It's an MS product
by now. For instance, last night I ported Squid (not quite finished),
but I think that won't make MS happy (they got ISA Sever). So, such
things should be left out of Interop Systems

There is a Beta directory. And some of the Forum readers have been testing
what is in the beta directory.

Jon-Alfred: the CD is offered as a convenience for people. Particularly
admin's who have many machines and/or other users that need to verify
content before it is allowed into their workplace. You may not believe
in it but those people need it. Your comment is reading like flame-bait.

That has been encouraged since day 1 of /Tools.
We had a couple for 3.0 (such as units by Jason).
For 3.5 Brian setpped up to the plate with several submissions.
Now several more people have too which is good.
> but I think that won't make MS happy (they got ISA Sever)
/Tools is under no constraint about what software will or will not make
MS happy. Heck, when I can I post fixes for MS's software. I'm sure that
makes some people at MS happy, but I'll bet somewhere its setting someone
else short's in knot. But that's pretty normal with a large organization.
In the end the application that someone wants to use with SFU/Interix is
available and so they continue to use SFU/Interix. That's a win by the user.
Users drive the platform. More users == more platforms.

Was not any intention of mine, whatsoever, and should never have entered
the world of bits and bytes. In particularly I'm not the right person to
utter any statements in that direction. To paraphrase Humphrey Bougart in
Casablanca: "I think I'll leave the thinking to Interop Systems. Guess they've
done quite a lot of that."
All the rest of your answers: I agree completely, and stick to where I'm at,
listing and learning, being a technician and exploring Interix, FreeBSD and
Linux -- finding more and more pleasure in porting and rereading books on
C and C++ (should have been Java, but that's another story).
As to Squid, it compiles fine but crashes after a while. Going to work on
that one. We made heavily us of it at HP, under HP-UX and Linux. It's excellent.

Just a warning about squid it has such a major bug with its caching that its not worth using.
Been outstanding for many years now so I doubt it will ever get fixed.

This is strange to hear. Could you be a bit more specific; is there any easy
way to see this? Currently I'm using ISA Server (MSDN) on our home network, as
a firewall and caching proxy, so I have to reconfigure quite a bit. Just got an
old HP LC2000 (dual 600 MHz), so my first thoughts were to use OpenBSD as a firewall
and Squid on Linux, but now I want to try with Interix.
With one version (don't remember which, there was a terrible memory leak,
which got fixed). In our HP-owned HA center in Oslo, where I was in
charge on the Windows 2000 side, Squid worked excellent on PA-RISC.
The UNIX boxes were managed from Germany. What they however never managed,
was to make it fail-over/load-balancing (I don't know if it's supported,
but I think so). However, now on a long-time sick-leave and again student,
I've got enough time to investigate.

checkout "[Squid Bug 7]" basically content refresh's dont work ( the headers aren't updated ) so after the inital expiry all requests will come back to the origin.
