Hi,
Oh yes, I realised this, it's not running on my production machine, just on
my local test & dev Raq. If anyone gets near that they've already broken the
window!

It's just a tool to generate pages, there would be no reason for the raw
generator to be running on the server as once the scripts are generated the
pages need far less liberal permissions, plus the pages will be passworded
away from the non allowed. :-)

Sorry, I should have been somewhat clearer!

Regards,

Phil
