All of your links and filenames must agree on case, or you will have lots of broken links. NT is case-preserving but not case-sensitive.Also, WebCat on NT will take both backslashes \ as well as forwardslashes / in pathnames. IIS is also similarly blinded, so you mayneed to do a global search/replace to fix this. HTML standards require the use of forward slash only. Of course, some of what WebCatdoes can be considered a server side include, so absolute paths arelegal but questionable in practice.HTHJohn-- John PeacockDirector of Information Research and TechnologyRowman & Littlefield Publishing Group4720 Boston WayLanham, MD 20706301-459-3366 x.5010fax 301-429-5747-------------------------------------------------------------This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
