I'd given it a test trial ;-)

Unfortunately, it's not quite useful at current state, at least for me:

- many parameters which need to be configurable are hard-coded, and, which
is the worst, in more than one place :( [maintainer name and tech-c is the
first example ;->]
- total style of CGIs are not of "good behaviour" from server-side (CGI.pm
eith importing all methods, etc)
- there's no easy way to change pages design
- frame design is not text-browser friendly: I suppose it would be useful
to produce both framed and unframe version.

It is in my plans to dig into the sources and make some improvements; of
course, in such event I definitely will contact Guy and other authors to
make my changes public. However, currently I'm in hard lack-of-time
situation :(

Anyway, thanks to you and Guy to great start place. Keep up the good work
;-)

Sincerely,
D.Marck                                   [DM5020, DM268-RIPE, DM3-RIPN]
