Thanks! I just made a real interesting discovery that may help. Although, the syntax you've given above hasn't been implemented (I'll probably end up writing this at some point), it looks like this works for <img src ...> tags. For example, try the following in an HTML page: <img src="http://miavx1.muohio.edu/cgi/~kacovert/test.com"> This will display a small gif of a book, but the more impressive part is that it's using a CGI to generate the image. Therefore, if you're wanting to use the <!-- #exec file="script.pl" --> to generate an image, you should be able to do it already. If you're wanting this for purposes of generating HTML, though, you'll have to wait until I can write the preprocessor directive. -- Kent Covert, Software Coordinator Miami Computing and Information Services Miami University, Oxford, OH [log in to unmask]
