I was gonna say, "What about us Mac users" - but lets remain focused ladies
and gents.

Carrie's hack was wonderful. It enables us to view a site before
propagation.

Sendmail was always a caveat on this. I would have thought that by
definition, propagation has to take place before mailing works.

My real problem, like others, is that using Carries hack doesnt enable me to
run my CGI's.  Can we get focussed on this please.

Thnks and Blessings
