FP doesn't work reasonably well even on Windows 2000 Advanced Server,
which is a Microsoft product and costs over $5,000!

That is true, though I think (underscore _think_) that it is supported
on the 4.  Since I no longer run FPx on anything but W2kAS (and don't
like it there) I really don't know.

That's what I've always thought works.

I think you may have to somehow tell FP where to publish the web; i.e.,
which directory.  Again, I really don't know the details.

If I ever get FPx working on the RaQ4 (one of my clients wants me to
try) I'll advise the list.
