Welcome to LiveSystems GuestBook for OS/2 WebServers verion 1.0
Copyright LiveSystems Software 1996
Free usage of this software. Use it on your own risk though.
Welcom.
=======
After looking through a number of the available guestbooks, usualy written
in REXX of PERL I decided to make my own. Like somany others I have my own
ideas on how things should work. You are free to enjoy the fruits of my
labor though.. And you don't even have to pay for it.. ;-)
On the other side, you get what you payed for. This program isn't extremely
well tested yet. Problems and bugs you can report on one of the addresses
below.
Usage:
======
Since this utility uses serverside includes, make sure first that you can use
these! If not, you will not see the guestbook entries!
Guest uses a small ini file which can have different sections. The defaul
section is [GUESTBOOK]. Whenever Guest is uses as a methode without
parameters, this is the section used.
As a parameter you can give a name for an other section. This way you can have
guestbooks in different languages or just different guestbooks for different
things.
Every section has the following items:
OutPath
The path to where the guestbook includefile has to be written.
GuestBook
The name of the guestbook included file.
CallingURL
The name of the HTML file which shows the guestbook. This is also the
file which will be shown after someone added an entry. In general this
is the file which you call from your HTML pages.
Name
The header for the name of the writing user.
Date
The date on which the entry is written
Address
The email address of the user
Comment
The comments of the user.
Included files:
===============
GUEST.EXE This is the executable CGI module. It should be copied to your
CGI-BIN directory.
GUEST.INI The ini file for guest. It should be in the same directory as
guest.exe
GUEST.INC a first remark for your guestbook. Copy this to the directory
in which you want to store the guestbook. (and change the
name in the INI file).
GUEST.HTM a simple page for using the guestbook. Adjust to your own tast,
but check the paths.
ADDGUEST.HTM a form for adding a comment to the guestbook. Make sure the
paths are correct.
If you would like to see this GuestBook in action, point your browser too

dutch though..
