texte = You might take a look at MGI by PagePlanetSoftware. Version 3 is in the works right now so they are giving version 2 away for free. It runs on NT/IIS or Mac OS 9/WebStar. It's syntax is very much like WebDNA's and it has the capability of setting file upload limits. I've used it for a couple of years now and it's great.
