Legacy revisited!

Yesterday, for purely nostalgic reasons, I spent an inordinate amount of

time* repairing a local IIS implementation of AVFP:

https://archive.codeplex.com/?p=activevfp

Then today I spent part of the afternoon looking at blogs by people who

implemented Windows IoT on RasPi's.

I was bemused by the convolutions needed to implement the very simplest

web server with Asp.Net or .Net Core on this setup.

Sitting here with a beer I suddenly remembered a web server implemented

in FoxPro, and to my surprise 30 secs on Google threw up the link:

http://www.eetasoft.ee/ewebserv.htm  - If you search Ed's Archives you

will find it discussed  - many many years ago.

From memory it just worked - it wasn't very scaleable but it 'did what

it said on the tin'.

I'll give it a run tomorrow.

/  * Uninstalling and re-installing IIS is not as straightforward as it

sounds!/
