I would highly recomend you to configure an newsgroup reader like Outlook Express. I use it - it's excellent. This way you can download only the headers of the messages and preview those which look well to you. By the way, are you from Yougoslavia? Here's a neighbor guy. "Michal Simovic" <[EMAIL

There may be a direct way but I am not aware of it. As a proposed solution you could have the user call a perl script that has the following steps: 1) create a lock file (or something similar) 2) open the file that is to be downloaded 3) print the proper header for that file type 4) print the

I'm not a pro at this or anything but you can always link the cgis to the web and place instructions that state that an internet connection is required. I'm kinda wondering if the script could track the disks being used as well. Naika http://naikaonline.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL
