[thelist] ASP devloped Locally

[Ken Schaefer]

I doubt very much whether it's legal :-) But the info is out there, so
there's not much point hiding it IMHO.

On the other hand, I suppose if you had a spare Windows 2000 Server (or Pro)
license, you could just as well load up the OS in a VMWare or Virtual PC
host (and be legal in the process).

Cheers
Ken
