1. You could use Server2go <http://www.server2go-web.de/> - a server that
can be put on a CD (I haven't tried it but I saw it in a thread here a
while back)
2. Use a preprocessor as others have suggested
3. Use frames - this is one of the few instances where frames might be
okay, especially since they can be resized, and the user probably isn't
going to be bookmarking.
