Skandha Services is experimenting with cgi scripts. This page, as well as the index are now using those biznez like tabled intro pages. Thot I'd try them out.
The index has nested tables to do a complicated graphic surround. As I code by hand with a text editor, this took a bit of experimenting to get right. IBM's WebExplorer does not get the table parsing correct, but every other browser I've tried now renders it correctly.
This page isn't loaded very often, as the only link here is from the Skandha index document. That must be how the gentle reader got here. The text counter is from cruzio's /cgi-bin as I couldn't get my own working.
I do have a random jump working, with logging. It is on the Devoid Zone, as well as in a form at the bottom of this page.
The Kinder, Gentler HTML validation service works very well.
Book em Dan'O detected a robot. Inktomi left her mark, she was scanning for Hotbot. So, I discovered how to mark an html file so that a friendly robot will not index it.
The HTML Author's Guide to the Robots Exclusion Protocol shows one how to do this.

Using a Cruzio commercial site? Jeff Leibermann has hints for using a Windoze ftp program to change the file permissions on your scripts and writable html files.
I haven't found a GUI program for the Amiga or OS/2 which will do this. Luckily I prefer to use ncftp anyway, which is available for both platforms. Figuring out how to send chmod commands to the web site server was my problem. Man pages didn't get me there. An exchange on cruzio.help got me there.

An ftp connection isn't a csh. As for file permissions, *if* the ftp server allows it, you might be able to type something like: site exec chmod NNN foo.html or chmod NNN foo.html where NNN are the unix rights to assign to the file.

Since there are only a few of us here I'll share some private files.
