Well, I don't want a Swiki. I want a different kind of web server.
I fixed my problem by removing the checkVersion send and fixing ServerAction class>>serverDirectory. Now, I have something like:
J:\Squeak2.4b\Server\
with all kinds of HTML documents in it and I'm able to serve pages long as there is a default.html. Accessing a non-existent file gave a problem. Below is the fix. Running the PWS on NT4.0 without SP4 gave all kinds of hangs on the browser. Running the same image from a different machine with NT4.0/SP4 was painless.
I was just "complaining" about the fact that PWS has become very Swiki-oriented (e.g. PWS>>initializeAll, CodeServer>>smtlk: etc.). IMNSHO, there should be a SwikiServer which is implemented with a PWS. It looks like pluggability and its application are intermixed.
