1. FP extensions are available for Windows based servers running IIS and Unix/Linux servers running
Apache.

2. The FP extensions are server-side and have no impact on what browser a user uses to browse your
web site.

3. FP allows you to add features/functions, just like all HTML editors and Notepad allow you to add
features and functions that are not support by all browsers, versions or the OS they are running
under.

4. A web host can chose to allow or not allow certain features/functions of the extensions to be
available by their hosting client, as well some FP extensions are only available under Windows IIS
and/or only under Unix/Linux Apache servers.
