	Why do people insist on perpetuating the stupid hack job that 
Microsoft has done to UNIX (and Mac) file extensions?  We've log ago 
passed the "8+3" era of DOS/Windows 3.1, and IMO it's time to move on.
	It's NOT "xxx.HTM". The correct file extension for HTML 
documents IS "HTML"!

	Sure you can hack (append) the "srm.conf" file, but WHY do 
it? Just make sure that you create your file with the correct file 
extension. If you are handicapped by using a Windows-based computer, 
then you can adjust the file extensions once they are uploaded to the 
Cobalt server - a computer that understands CORRECT file naming!

	Sorry, but I deal with this everyday and it makes me crazy!      :-/
