Thanks for your reply SYSGATE.

I have uploaded the files but can't get it to work. I think I have other issues as I don't know what shell acccess is. I use a WS_FTP95 to upload files. I am past 60 and can't type and that type stuff so to let you know I am slow in all areas.

My domain and web pages are hosted by hostmonster and they use C-Panel but I know less about it than I know about Windows and UNIX.

I know the user guide talks about running stuff from the command line but I have no clue how I can do that using Windows XP and a FTP program. See my real concern at bottom and may well be all that I need do to get this thing up and running.

I put all the fies in the CIG-BIN folder that he said and I created a folder named perl as my C-panel said I needed for perl script and put the files needed in that location along with my GEDCOM file. Transfered using ASCII only mode.

I also point everything to my server side and web address as it said or at least I think I did. I am going to go back over it all again this week-end.

The how to file then says if I have no telnet or shell I can do this:
" THAT SHOULD BE ALL THERE IS TO IT !!!

Although the above procedure assumed that you had TelNet access to your account, this is not really necessary. All of the setup can be done through FTP alone, with only a little more difficulty. All of the directory creations and file permission settings performed above can be done with any reasonably full featured FTP program, for instance WS_FTP from Ipswitch. And the IGMLivng and IGMMak scripts can be run via http requests by simply renaming them as ordinary CGI scripts and uploading them to your cgi-bin directory. Since they take single arguments, they can be run with a command like: http://domain/~you/cgi-bin/igmmak.cgi?Macdonald "

SYSGATE do you know from where I would issue that command and or how ?

I think that might be the real hold up as it seems I have all the other stuff done. I am sure about the GEDCOM not sure about the LF but as I understand it noiwdays the FTP program set to ASCII should format it correctly. Only thing I can't see how to do is issue that command on the GEDCOM file from HostMonster, FTP or my web browser.

Thanks again for your help.
