Hi Chritopher...!

It all depeneds.....,
If you will decide that you want to do such a thin for you customer,
and yo u will decide that the "stand-alond minivend" will be runing
in a windows enviroment.... Its quite simple...

You can find lots of Mini-Servers which them size wont go over
2MB file..., you have planty of such sources spreaded out in the internet
(most them are Visual Basic / Visual C)... you can compile such ones
in few minutes..., create a runing Minivend with them...
and you can burn them on a CD...,
Altought there are several things to take note for(!):
1. Minivend require saving log files and some other ones...
    you might need to direct them to a "temp" directory on the
   local hard-drive (the same as for taking down orders).
2. Those Mini-Servers are not with all function as Apache / IIS
but since you wont use it for on-line and just for local run, i dont
think you will notify the diffrence.

So it might run perfecyly from a CD but it will require some
hard-disk space anyhow...


C Ya,
Eran.
