lxp-eval-0.8.0.tgz

An evaluation/developer-use copy of the LXP PostgreSQL application server for Apache 1.3.x. LXP is a good tool for integrating PostgreSQL (and other technologies) with the web. This package is a binary distribution intended for x86-based systems. It must be copied to your hard drive before it can be extracted.
