Date		Description                                         Status 
03/25/98	IIS under Windows NT does not propertly redirecting standard
            I/O between ss.exe and the client. 

            ss.exe is a wrapper executable used to setup the environment
            needed by iScript. ss.exe accumplishes this by spawning a
            subprocess that will run iScript using the java executable
            specified by the environmental variable java_exe. 

            Standard input is not being passed to the subprocess and
            standard output from the subprocess is not being passed to the
            web server. 
            
			iScript functions properly with IIS under Windows 95. 

            To resolve this problem: 

            	download the following file 
                fix032598.reg 
                run regedit path fix032598.reg 
                replacing path with the download path 

			WARNING: Making any changes to the registry may cause
            unrecoverable problems that may require the reinstallation of
            Windows NT to resolve them. Edit the registry at your own risk.

            This problem has been resolved in the 03/25/97 release of
            iScript 
                                                                                Fixed 
03/02/98	Performance is an issue on Linux systems. 

            The inherent overhead in starting and stopping a separate UNIX
            process each time a CGI request is made degrades
            performance. 

            Direct integration of iScript with
            Apache/Netscape/Microsoft/Sun Web Servers is planned to
            improve performance.
