Wow! thanks for that link. I didn't know they built a pre-processor for
HTML. Funky! But there're two disadvantages with it, from what I am
reading:

1. You have to run the pre-processor only once, and that is when you're
fully sure all your content that is to be included is final and won't
change.

2. Not good when you have to edit the content included through the
pre-processor. It would require replacemnet of code in every page that
has the content (pre-processor inserted content) included.

OK. Sorry.

I am sure that my webserver has PHP 5.0 installed and ASP 3.0 and ASP
..NET v1.1 also intsalled. :-)

However, SSI is not currently enabled.
