http://www.indigostar.com/microweb.htm :

"Create a working web site on a CD-ROM.
MicroWeb allows you to create a working web site on a CD-ROM.  Using a web
browser, a user can run CGI programs as well as view html files on the CD-ROM.

To view the website the end user only has to run the microweb.exe program
on the CD-ROM, there is nothing to configure.  This will automatically
start a web browser for viewing the website.

MicroWeb provides support for MySQL, it will automatically start a MySQL
server if one is included on the CD."
