[thelist] Parsing *.htm on an IIS (5.0) server THANKS

>Q1) What do you mean by "parse"?

I want embedded SSI command to "work"..... that is all

Noted and pursuing, I think the work I am getting
from the "now" webmistress is on an inherited site for which
she has little knowledge other than the FTP details?

don't KNOW I need to, just want a script that will run from the browser
URL line to work when embedded in a page..... not a typical FTP'd as "644" 
issue

Back to the present webmistress needing to get on to the host for this info

Guess it is over to her now, or we move the site to a UNIX/Apache server ;)

Thanks again Ken!
