Well, I have gotten delayed, but when I get a few things done, I'll test
the latest JFFNMS with dev-lang/php-4.4.2. One of the devs has worked
on it, quite a lot lately. If more folks install JFFNMS and use it, we're
more likely to get better support from the devs.

It has undergone many changes, as it is quite fluid as NMS. The website states
that it runs on PHP5 also, but, I have not had time to drill down into the
details. What's your adversion to Java Serverlets? (just curious).
