ms4w-installation: win98se-shutdown problem

[Jeff McKenna]

Hello Joerg,

(note that the proper email list for MS4W questions can be found at
http://lists.maptools.org/mailman/listinfo/ms4w-users)

I dug up an old win98 laptop and did some testing with ms4w v1.0.  I
also ran into problems stopping the service.  I then did some digging
and from what I've read Apache's use as a 'service' is extremely
experimental in Windows 95/98
(http://www.phpfreaks.com/apache_manual/page/win_service.html#win95svc).
  I therefore have no easy solution for you.  To get around this I would
make a shortcut to apache.exe on my desktop and manually run it each
time...sorry I don't have an easier solution.  Maybe some other win98
user can help us.
