One other thing, that command to run http://domain/~you/cgi-bin/igmmak.cgi?Macdonald just type it into your web browesr address window with your own stuff ...MAKE sure and spell everything right, with correct case. Hit enter or the go button... it did its thing. :-)

Was it really so simple ? Smilie I'm glad the issue is resolved, nice catch Era.
And yes, Unix / Linux based hosting plans are case sensitive.

I guess I should take note of this bit of info. Now I have some productive use for my hex editor other than just debugging; I guess it would be useful to replace standard UNIX line-feed characters with DOS carriage-return + line-feed combos and vice versa from within my hex editor when I transfer text files among my computers; I've had issues in the past with text files from other operating systems, and maybe this is the cause. So thanks, y'all.
