Hmm, this I don't know too much about. My site is hosted by an ISP, so I don't have all the access that I would if I were running my own server. I can do a bunch of stuff like run PHP, Perl & Java, cron jobs... I guess I'm open to any idea that's the least work for me :) FYI I run Win2K at home, my server is a Unix/Apache setup with its own peculiar restrictions and so on. And I just realized some of those pages are .shtml pages... not sure if those will work? - Mike |
