I think I know what your problem is, your script is probably using the PATH_INFO stuff, which wasn't supported in previous release of Jigsaw. Now, if you are a w3c member, you should be able to get the new release from:" http://www.w3.org/member/WWW/Jigsaw page. This include fixes (numerous fixes) to CgiResource. > Oh, regarding the listserver -- I have not received a single message since > I signed up last week. Is there a problem with the server?
