Parameterized HTML files, a mechanism to simplify cgi programming and to pass state information. By writing a cgi program that replaces parameter tags in HTML-like files, I have created a way to solve a few common problems of www info providers. First there is the problem of keeping state information between page accesses, then there is a problem with migrating from one server to another, when the directory of the new host is different from that of the previous. These problems are solved by encapsulating parameter tags in HTML files and have a cgi program replace them with information provided by other programs or obtained from the environment.
