I've installed UniServer on my USB flash drive and it works fine, however...

I have a situation where I needed to do a demo on a public library network.
This fails because the network has restricted the use of batch (.bat) and command (.com)
files for security reasons. This is a serious problem since the UniServer uses batch
files to start services, etc.

I am currenly using a workaround (sorry about this...) using the 'other' WAMP server
whose name begins with "X....". It works in the above situation because it provides
and executable (.exe) file for control and configuration. Please note that this workaround
is less than satisfactory for several reason, not the least of which is the huge footprint
of the "X...." server on my USB drive (hundreds of Megs). "X...." is a beast.

My suggestion (request, plea, cry for help?) is that the development team at Uniserver
make an executable control program to start and administrate the various services.
Please note that this should not replace the use of batch files (I prefer this current method
of UniServer access and control). but this would address the problem I have outlined
above: demo's on "secure" systems where the user rights and restrictions cannot be
controlled by we, the programmers.
