This isn't appropriate for www-talk, please take questions like this to comp.infosystems.www.authoring.cgi.

Documentation on nph- scripts is available at <URL:http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/> -- Paul Phillips | "Click _here_ if you do not <URL:mailto:paulp@cerf.net> | have a graphical browser" <URL:http://www.primus.com/staff/paulp/> | -- Canter and Siegel, on <URL:pots://+1-619-220-0850/is/paul/there?> | their short-lived web site
