Re: [Slashcode-general] Any trick to get redirect to work

[Clifton W. <cli...@gm...>]

It depends on what you are trying to rewrite. If you are trying to
rewrite specific pages to somewhere else, mod_rewrite is the way to
go. If you have a whole bunch of pages that need to go elsewhere, you
could write a Slash-based perl script to do it. I'd need more
information to offer any kind of serious advice.
