Date		Description                                         Status 

03/25/98    IIS under Windows NT does not properly redirecting  Fixed
            standard I/O between ss.exe and the client. 

            ss.exe is a wrapper executable used to setup the
            environment needed by iScript. ss.exe accomplishes
            this by spawning a subprocess that will run
            iScript using the java executable specified by the
            environmental variable java_exe.

            Standard input is not being passed to the
            subprocess and standard output from the subprocess
            is not being passed to the Web Server.
            
            iScript functions properly with IIS under
            Windows 9x.

            To resolve this problem: 

            	download the following file 
                fix032598.reg 
                run regedit path fix032598.reg 
                replacing path with the download path 

			WARNING: Making any changes to the registry may
            cause unrecoverable problems that may require the
            reinstallation of Windows NT to resolve them. Edit
            the registry at your own risk.

            This problem has been resolved in the 03/25/97
            release of iScript 
                                                                                Fixed 
03/02/98    Performance is an issue on Linux systems.           Open

            The inherent overhead in starting and stopping a
            separate UNIX process each time a CGI request is
            made degrades performance. 

            Direct integration of iScript with
            Apache/Netscape/Microsoft Web Servers is planned
            to improve performance.
