CGI Script Installation Guide
Owners of Unix accounts can use simple CGI wizards
to enhance their sites with the following scripts:
All CGI scripts for a particular site are stored in the cgi-bin
directory, unless specified otherwise. If you accidentally
delete any files in the cgi-bin directory,
you can recover them by going to the Web Options
page and clicking the Restore to default link.
Your existing files remain untouched, so you will not lose
your changes. To get rid of undesirable changes in the script files,
delete these files and then click the Restore to default link
on the Web Options page. Also, use the Restore to default
link to fix your temporary index page to default.
See the Contents
of Your Home Directory chapter of this manual for more information
on the files and catalogues not to be deleted.
