hi amy

sorry, can't help you with the IIS syntax, but it should be possible

in apache, i've done it like this --

   <!--#if expr="(${QUERY_STRING} = /printversion/)" -->
     print version code here
   <!--#elif expr="(${QUERY_STRING} = /textversion/)" -->
     text version code here
   <!--#else -->
     graphic version code here
   <!--#endif -->

by no means am i skilled in unix regular expressions (i lifted that code
from an SSI tutorial on the web), but my understanding is that /foobar/ is
actually a search to find that string anywhere in the query string, and i
believe query strings will include the question mark, so if

   <!--#if expr="$QUERY_STRING = 'printable'" -->

doesn't work, try

   <!--#if expr="$QUERY_STRING = '?printable'" -->
