[Xitami] URGENT - Major server bug in cgi - never before seen

[MRJ InfoTech Admin]

Problem solved...
Apparently the error through a fit before the actual location in the code. 
As usual, the problem remains the same.
An issue with the device located between the screen parsing data going to 
the keyboard (^^)

(in other words, input error)

The problem was very simple, the output code depends on a text file containing
the formatting for the header and footer in the CGI result, and these two 
files
where missing due to a simple copy error.

I keep having to remind myself, that the error is not what is last 
returned, but what was NOT last returned.
Sorry to bug the board, but perhaps someone can learn from my mistake too.
