First, you don't need a script to do what this script does. All
.htaccess files are just text files - you can make them on your own
home computer and upload them to your /web directory yourself! You
have just wasted $30 - sorry to tell you, but you have. This script
just makes it a little more convenient for you (or anyone else on the
world wide web who knows the URL of the script) to change directory
permissions with an .htaccess file.

Second, there's no "installing" to be done. Just upload it to your
site (in ASCII format) and chmod it to 755 - same as you would do with
any other CGI script. I highly suggest you password protect the
directory you load this into, else anyone in the world will be able to
screw with your site.
