ASP is Active Server Pages. It is a server side language made by Microsoft that incorporates VBScript and JavaScript. There is a Tek-Tips forumfor ASP. It is Forum #333.
PWS is Personal Web Server is a web page manager (like IIS) for your hard drive. It is an add-on that comes with Internet Explorer (v4 or higher?).
I hope this info. helps!

P.S. Welcome to the fun side of programming! I coded in COBOL for 10+ years and I'm glad to be rid of it! Please visit my websites!

ASP means Active Server Pages and is a scripting language that runs on IIS (Internet Information Server). It enables you to dynamically write content (html) to the client.
PWS means Personal Web Server and is a 'stripped' version of IIS, with just enough functionality to run asp pages on your machine. IIS is an installation option under
win NT/2000. And I believe PWS is among others shipped with Frontpage.
Have a nice weekend!

is a good FAQ explaining what ASP is. It's short for Active Server Pages -- I'll leave the rest up to the FAQ.
PWS is short for Personal Web Server, and allows a regular Win9x box to act like a server (albeit a 'dumbed down' version of one) so that ASP pages can be developed and tested on a Win9x box... because they have to run in a server environment to function.

IIS (Internet Information Server, the big-daddy to PWS) comes with Windows 2000 Pro, and PWS with Frontpage 97-2000, and with Windows NT Option Pack 4. The option pack can be downloaded and installed on a Win9x box (it is not supported on WinME, see KB Q266456) but will only install PWS. Here is the link: Daniel Shackelford
