Hi, judging from the path to the template in the URL, I'd say it's
written in Perl, so there might be hope after all.
Personally I don't know how to extract the contents of a template file
(this one has code, images for the menu buttons, etc).
If anyone knows how to do it, I'd love to hear about it.
Regards and thanks for the pointers to B3 & Bibus,
Christos
