oops I forgot Thomas, my Hosting company uses LINUX.
This bring another question that you maybe able to answer/help me.
On my Hosting Company ( Webmasters.com ) the formmail.pl script was set
right with my files ( pages ) not inside the cgi folder
If I'm right, this is possible only on a Windows server, also I read that
script
with Notepad with no problem, so based on this Thomas....
1: If Linux working like Windows ?
2: The script is ok on Notepad, so is not a dos based text ? ( cr/lf )
Thanks again !
