You can map .htm to ASP.DLL (just like .asp is mapped to ASP.DLL).

>From IIS's perspective, the only reason .ASP is processed as a script and
.HTM is processed as a static file is because of the .ASP ScriptMap. So,
you can scriptmap .HTM to ASP.DLL, and then IIS will also process .HTM as an
"ASP script".

The only thing you lose here is that .htm files get treated as "script"
(i.e. processed by ASP.DLL) and not "static file" (i.e. processed directly
by IIS). There is a ~10x performance/scalability hit with this change, but
you may be able to get away with it if performance is still sufficient.

Thanks Paul.  Unfortunately I am using static (.htm) files and
converting them to ASP isn't an option.  If you know of a way to make
the server process the ASP include files without changing my file
extensions, I'm all ears!
