I managed to install it and made working on Personal Web Server on NT
Workstation.
You are right mike, the most important thing is to have everything else
configured (like virtual directory, user rights to appropriate folders)
before you launch make-cat.pl ( or makecat.bat which is the same).
BTW: On windows NT the ODBC link works perfectly with syntax 
database products products dbi:odbc:dsn_name
which I can't make to work from Unix box.

Yes it will, however it can get a bit complicated.  Pay particular attention
to the manner in which you answer the questions in the makecat program. 

NT4.0 tips: 

Load perl first.  Sounds stupid, but make sure you do that first.  Also, you
can run minivend with just the base perl executable, and I strongly suggest
you do if this is your first installation.  Learn how to interact with the
text databases before you graduate yourself to sql server.


As soon as the HTML window in the mvend setup starts, close it.  Go to the
MVEND directory (if you accepted the defaults like a good-boy) and run
make-cat.pl. 


Answer the questions and then try to run one of the 'browses' from
index.html.  If it works, you're golden.  If not, then do it again and again
until it works. 


Don't even attempt to do this until you have IIS4.0 installed and thoroughly
understand how it is used.

Will Minivend work with a Windows NT server?  If so, does the Windows NT 
server require any kind of Telnet access or is there no such thing with NT? 
I was looking at http://www.wipc.net/hosting.htm
