I have not yet tried any of these, but I do notice that ALL THREE are Macintosh products only! As you might guess, I am less familiar with Windows-95 and Windows-NT solutions. Does anyone know if they exist for these platforms?

WebQuest for NT (http://www.questar.com/webquest.htm) is a Windows NT based server, including graphical site management package. It is the only server to include SSI as well (server side includes) and comes bundled with Webmeister (the graphical management software) and WebEdit (the superior HTML editor - also available from http://wwwnt.thegroup.net/webedit/webedit.htm). There is also a separate version for Win95 I believe (although maybe it's the same one). A trial version is available from the web site, the full price being....well, I couldn't find it anywhere, but it ain't cheap I don't think.

Might I ask the list to respond with say

a) the platform they have chosen to serve from b) whether site management software is yet in regular use?

I'd be interested in seeing how many departments have a dedicated server. I'm trying to (slowly) convince people that a dedicated server for the department would be worthwhile, but it's proving hard. (We don't even have control over the server that is actually in our department yet - this is the kind of thing some of us are up against) We just get space on the college's web server (that caters for all departments). I've no idea what the machine is, but the server software is Apache, although I have no other knowledge of it. So, how many of the 'Webmasters' on the list, are also server maintainers??
