Re: Why does minivend need to look at httpd.conf and $ENV.

[Jason Korkin <jkorkin@korksoft.com>]

Roy,
	We are a hosting company, that specializes in Minivend hosting... the
answer that we give people when they ask the same question is because
the install is MADE more for server ADMINISTRATORs, rather than the end
users... 

	If during the install you have ReadTerm (i believe), it allows you to
basically arrow down through a list of hosts/domains listed in the
httpd.conf file.  Its easier that way for people like us (the admin's)
who are lazy typers :-)

	Hope that answers you question,

	Jason Korkin.
