[Xitami] FW: Xitami (and Sokrates)...

[Thomas J. Hruska]

I just received this from the Sokrates servlet development team.  This is
sad news for both the Xitami web server and ProtoNova (both servers get hit
equally with this one).  Today has been a strange day indeed.  Those who
are developing servlets for LRWP-capable servers (e.g. Xitami) using the
Sokrates servlet engine will probably need to find or develop an
alternative or switch to the Sokrates' group's "ZeroToaster" environment:
