I meant irev scripts. I want to have some functionality be hidden from
people with access to the scripts on a web site (say, a funciton that
uploads things to my ftp site, so contains my ftp username and password).
If I was using CGI I could password protect that stack - but then the
other people would need LC to be able to do anything to the CGI scripts.
Therefore I need to use irev so the other people can edit simple irev
text files (in reality, so they can edit the html parts of the irev
files :-) But that doesn't allow me to protect the usernames/passwords.
OK, I can work around it by using both a .irev and a CGI script, and
POSTing the data from the irev to the CGI stack, so I have both
user-friendly .irev files to edit *and* protected stacks; but that's
extra complexity that I'd really like to avoid.
