Lionel (and Marcy, and all) -- It's a CGI script, written in REXX, that runs on Webshare. It can theoretically be re-fitted to run on any of the other three web servers for VM. (Or you could just snag Webshare from Dave Jone's V/Soft site.)
Looks like Kris and others have made some important mods. I recommend that you have a look at those so your experience will be more complete. The CMS HELP could easily be downloaded in HTML form by pointing any mirror tool at this script. (I'm thinking something like a 'wget -r'. Either Linux, or get CYGWIN and it's easy.) -- R; <>< On Mon, 4 Aug 2008, Lionel B. Dyck wrote: > Where might one find that tool (CMSHELP CGIREXX) ? > > thx > > Lionel B.
