CGI permissions

[Mark Smith]

Apologies - it turns out that my problem was due to the filter command 
not liking numToChar(13) as a line delimiter - which, naturally, the 
data uses.
A simple "replace numToChar(13) with numToChar(10) in tData" did the 
trick.


There does seem to be one anomaly, however. 'the date'  returns the 
date, as expected, but  'the system date' returns empty... This seems 
to hold for 'the short date' form, as well, I haven't tested others.

Neither of these things are an issue in the IDE, only in the CGI engine.

Thanks for your attention,

Mark

ps. changing the permissions of your desktop folder is not a good idea 
- weird stuff starts to happen! Repair permissions and reboot, and all 
is well, tf.
