NCSA httpd 1.3 is now available via anonymous FTP from
ftp://ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu/Web/ncsa_httpd/current. NCSA httpd 1.3 is a
maintenance release designed to fix some of the bugs which were introduced
in httpd 1.2.

NCSA httpd is an HTTP/1.0 compatible server for hypermedia documents.
It runs on a plethora of UNIX systems. NCSA httpd is also compatible
with the Common Gateway Interface which allows interactive document
generation.

All of the documentation for NCSA httpd is online hypertext. See 
http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/. If you cannot use a networked WWW browser to 
read it, retrieve the file /Web/ncsa_httpd/current/httpd_docs.tar.Z from
ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu and use your WWW browser in local only mode to get things
started.

Please send any inquiries about NCSA httpd to h...@ncsa.uiuc.edu.

Thanks
--Rob
