Just something I saw. I guess I mentioned it for reasons of ease of
installation for the user, since .cgi files in a cgi directory are never
web-viewable (in other words, a universal solution.)
Ah well. The non-compatibility had occurred to me. Like I said, just a
thought.

One of the scripts I was looking at uses a .cgi extension on all
it's data files so they aren't viewable from the web.
Does that sound feasible?
I see the point, but .cgi extensions indicate that files are executable,
and since that's not the case with the data files, it wouldn't be a very
"clean" solution. Besides, it would require changes in the program which
would make the new version non-compatible with previous versions, and
thus rather complicated to implement.
