[Javascript] server-side js

[Manuel Socarras Reyes]

hi to everybody as this is my first message to the list:

i'm in a medium level programming in client-side js but now i need to
develop an app that can read / update a text file on the server. so,
here are my questions:

* is server-side js limited to Netscape Enterprise servers or it can be
used for example in a Microsoft server like IIS 5.0?
* what about the compiler? it can be downloaded or only comes with
Netscape servers?

TIA,
