Revert dated 4th Dec 06

I reverted the previous update because, although not vandalism, it was poorly worded and removed many of the tags already added to the page. I think maybe some of the ideas are valid; perhaps someone with more knowledge than I can incorporate them:

"It consists of a set of program calls that can be used to include while writing a Web Server application. The advantage of ISAPI is that the applications run faster than the counterpart CGI-based applications. It is possibe to create a dynamic link library application file using ISAPI that can support the process and address space of the HTTP application. Since ISAPI supports COM/DCOM technology, it naturally provides a vendor independent way of providing many features of the web server."

Picture

All articles in Wikipedia are supposed to have an illustration - some kind of graphic. I've gone ahead and added one, but I don't know how to shrink it down and still have the full one available using the media wiki software. Maybe I need to upload two different files, I dunno?

Also I added a section called "The Big Picture" that explains not only what ISAPI is, but how it fits into the picture and why it's needed. My hope is that this will help readers gain the better understanding they came to the encyclopedia for. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by DigitalEnthusiast (talkcontribs) 23:02, 4 December 2006 (UTC).[reply]

I set the image to display as a thumbnail, and added the caption. I think it should stay smaller than full-size, but any other beneficial changes are welcome. RobLinwood 01:20, 9 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
