texte = Thanks Ken. I have suffix mapping set up in Webstar as follows:Action Suffix Type Creator MIME TypeACGI .ACGI APPL * text.htmlWEBCATALOG .TPL * * text.htmlAs I said, I have 3 different .acgis. Formhandler.acgi is used for formswhich send out an email response to a client. Webcatalog could take overthis function in time. It means redoing stuff that was done a year or sobefore we got webcatalog. If there is a fix that would allow me to keep all3 acgis for now, it takes some of the pressure off. I really need to keepthe Cumulus .acgi because it runs our Photo archive which is a veryimportant part of our printing/publishing system.You said assuming they use different suffixes. Is the problem that all.acgis use the same suffix mapping? I believe that the only extensionchoices are to use .cgi (not asyncronus, would cause time out problems) or.acgi. Can you tell me more about your thoughts?Lani------->Date: 12 Jan 1999 20:28:52 -0800>From: Kenneth Grome
