This package contains three reference manuals for AOLserver version 3+:
- The AOLserver Administrator’s Guide covers the setup options and security issues relating to running the server;
- The AOLserver Tcl Developer’s Guide covers the Tcl API which can be used to add features to your web pages (similar in some respects to PHP or Microsoft’s ASP);
- The AOLserver C Developer’s Guide covers the C API which can be used to create new modules to extend AOLserver.
