Eric,

Thanks for the help, but I didn't think I had access to cgi's via corn.
Is this not true now? (I've also set up an NT server on my office
machine, but can't for the life of me figure out how to run perl scripts
off it successfully. All the scripts I've seen seem to demand a UNIX
environment, and I haven't figured out how to set up a UNIX box yet.
Maybe next year ;-)).

Anyway, I do appreciate the help. Thanks!
