I have a guestbook program that all I need to do is modify then char *fields[], to get more "fields" on the guestbook.. and my wrapping around is seperated (intro and ending), and the body is iterated for each submitted entry... I've finished the source changes (took a few minutes to type 'em in over laggy connection to freefall..) now just to modify the wrapping entries... which I'm about to begin on now... > BTW I have also been toying with the idea of putting up a database of > people who are working on projects into a Web page. Just to kind of > advertise the projects and let people know who is interested and working. > Just an Idea. hmmm... probably wouldn't be hard to modify mine to do that... only problem with this is that delete will take O(n) time as my database for storage is a null delmited fields... should have it done in about an hour or so... oh... all of this is based on my cgiparse lib... it makes writing something like this (in C) about a 50 line program... ttyl... -- John-Mark Cu Networking Modem/FAX: +1 541 683 6954 Live in Peace, destroy Micro$oft, support free software, run FreeBSD
