Well, I don't need any database functionality per se, just save and retrieve, but if it makes my life *easier* instead of harder then I'm all for it. :) The save to text file was so easy that initially looked to be the simplest approach. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll check it out. > > From wha

Here is an interesting tidbit for anyone thinking of using the command line mail tool "postie" on Windows from their cgi script. I decided to send email through a system call to postie, just because postie is how I have always sent mail from the command line in Windows :) I couldn't figure out wh
