Much faster than what? :shock: :lol:
Windows processors like PHP for windows, Active Perl, Etc.
There's your problem -
Windows!, everything crawls under Windows!.
No one's gonna let you run EXEs off their web servers for obvious security reasons. It looks like what you want is write your own web server. But you don't, really. You just don't know it yet. What you want is learn PHP, ASP or JSP programming. Or plain HTML formatting for a start.
I already know HTML Perl, and PHP, and I found they take a little longer to be procesed than a DOS exe. The time difference really adds up when 100's of people access the server.
Don't you think this board is quite fast?, and it's had 326 people using it at the same time!. PHP is considerably faster than Perl, because PHP was designed for the job, Perl wasn't - it was modified from an old scripting language.
At the risk of sounding rude?, do you really think you're going to get hundreds of simultaneous visitors?. This forum is an EXTREMELY busy one, and the record is only 326!.
Why do you come up with such... original ideas so often? This one is in the same vein as your floppy-disk PIC programmer. :roll:
why not?
after all, I'm surprised some servers allow certain Windows EXE's and not DOS EXE's.
DOS is too low level, no one is going to give you that degree of access to their servers, and most run Linux and not Windows anyway. Of those that do run on Windows, they probably don't have DOS anyway, being XP or NT based.
What I have setup at home now is Xitami web server (FREE for all at xitami.com) setup with PHP, and I made it work with 16-bit DOS programs.
I've played with Xitami at home as well, it seems very slow generally, including just serving plain HTML pages - again, I suspect it's down to Windows 'bloat'.
Run PHP on a webhosts server and it should be plenty fast enough
The problem with putting it online is that I have to leave my computer on forever, and it will increase the costs of hydro (electricity). My computer never stays on for more than 16 hours a day.
It's already on for 66.6% of the day, so why not leave it on for the other 33.3%?, assuming you have the capability of running a server from home? - a fixed IP address is a good start.
Is there a faster server-side processor besides PHP, Perl and Java? I'm looking for FAST stuff, and so far, my DOS EXE's are outdoing everything.
Don't think so, PHP is already fast enough, you just haven't tried it on a proper server!.
