Hi Mathieu !

Try php which is very easy to integrate into your normal html-code. Your easiest
solution could be just one (!) line:

<?php @readfile("sometext.txt"); ?>

This would look for "sometext.txt" in the current directory and print out the text
directly to the screen. Easy enough ?!
But you need to take care of:
1.: you have to install php on your machine.
2.: your customer has to learn some ftp commands.
3.: the text file should only contain text and no formatting.

The best solution for your customer could also be done with php. You can then
offer him a window to point and click to his text file, upload it, check formatting 
and display it. More work for you, but easier for your customer:

Try: www.php.net

It's up to you - good luck !
