If I untarred files with telnet in my cgi bin, (which was really cool, btw) can I copy them to my pc by ftp, edit them with Notepad+ on my pc and then ftp the file back. Will they work as long as I use ASCII mode and not binary?
Also, do we have to place our graphics outside of the cgi-bin at FQ?
(Sorry, Justin, I just hadda try another script.)

Hi Julie... yep that's pretty much how you do it.[nbsp][nbsp]Or at least I do.[nbsp][nbsp]Graphics in cgi-bin wouldn't be good as far as I know since it's mainly for excutable files and html files and such don't work in there.[nbsp][nbsp]But I'm definitely not one of the experts around here.
