This is a simple webserver I wrote in 1995 for presentation at the Embedded Systems Conference in 1996. This was the first presentation at the ESC about using a web server to provide the user interface for an embedded system. This web server was demo'ed in the vendor booths at National Semiconductor and Ready Systems. Many attendees didn't know this was possible.

This was written on a Windows 95 machine using Microsoft C (not visual C yet). That's why the filenames are all caps. The demos at ESC were hosted on Ready Systems VRTX operating system running on a Nat Semi x86 processor.

I have used various versions of this code on embedded systems over the years. There are better alternatives now but it has served well.

I upload this to Github so i wouldn't lose the code and as an example of code I wrote back in the day.

Most of the code is portable C. The OS specific parts are in the directories W95 (windows port) and VXW (vxworks port).

I owe my brother Jim Howard for telling me (in 1994) about this new 'World Wide Web' thing and spurring me to follow up with this project among others.
