I often say thank you Dave, et al. I first got my experience with Userland from using Frontier , in the early scripting days. I've recently come to appreciate their more mature offerings, including Radio. Here's a note about an exciting upcoming release:
Frontier 8 [Scripting News]
4:50:37 PM

A necessary foundation for the "community server" product is Frontier 8.0. Doug and Brent are working on that, and have a final-final candidate on the support site (if you're a licensee you know where that is). At one point I thought we'd do an overhaul of the configuration system for Frontier 8, based on what we know now about browser-based content management software. But we couldn't muster the effort, given all that's on our plate, so Frontier 8 will ship tomorrow, Murphy-willing, to be quickly followed by the software described above. [Scripting News]

What's the difference? [Scripting News]

A frequently asked question is What's the difference between Frontier and Radio? [Scripting News]
4:38:32 PM

Radio is our desktop product, it includes weblogging software, a news aggregator, and features that put a friendly face on XML-based services over the Internet. Radio is designed for people, the same way personal computers are designed for people. [Scripting News]
4:38:00 PM

Frontier is our mainframe. It's centralized. It includes Manila, a deep and powerful browser-based content management system. Where Radio is designed for individuals, Frontier is designed for communities and organizations, workgroups -- groups of people. Like Radio it's a programming environment, the two products are very compatible. Scripts written for one environment usually run well in the other. The knowledge you gain scripting Radio can be applied in bigger ways on the mainframe. [Scripting News]

The difference are what apps ship with each product. Frontier is configured to serve lots of users. Radio is configured to serve one user. Frontier is $899. Radio is $39.95. [Scripting News]

okay, i spent some time this morning getting IIS up and running on my office workstation. my goal is to use Radio as my content management system and I'll use categories to keep my office stuff private.
thx Dave, et al.
I did run across a wierd bug in IIS when Crystal Reports is installed. The IIS admin and app service fail to load, and your install is just hosed.
There's a technote on seagate's site.
Thanks Mike Austin and iisfaq.com
