OK, I've implemented this on a trial basis. index.html and contents.html still point to main.shtml, with still includes news.txt. However, I've updated the news-get.sh script to maintain both news.txt and main.html, so we'll see how it goes in the coming days/weeks. If it seems solid, we can switch index.html and contents.html over to using main.html, and we can then get rid of main.shtml and news.txt (and take out the part in news-get.sh that maintains the latter). Please have a look and comment. I'd appreciate the extra eyeballs. -- Gilles R. Detillieux E-mail: <[email protected]> Spinal Cord Research Centre WWW: http://www.scrc.umanitoba.ca/ Dept.
