OVERVIEW - Overview of WWWutil package
======================================

This package provides a whole bunch of useful cgi-bin programs and 
interfaces to them for customers of an ISP (using ISPutil package) 
and a staffroom for staff of the administrators of the system.

The staffroom can be seen in action at http://www.knotwork.com/staff/ 
where we have left our staffroom open to the public instead of using the 
usual password protection available using the Spinner webserver.

The package includes a module for Spinner which implements a <WWWUTIL> 
tag which loads a bunch of macros used by the package. These macros are 
mainly for things like standard headers and footers for the pages.

The headers and footers of cgi-bin programs are tailored in a QDDB 
database on a per-project basis, where the Staffroom is one of the 
projects. This database may turn out to be more trouble than it is worth 
though; I keep toying with the idea of simply using files for headers and 
footers as is done in the catalog generation routines.

The package includes scripts for generating catalogs by categories from 
QDDB databases, where a category is just any word found in some 
specified field of the database.

The package also contains tools for generating documents from QDDB 
databases using templates.
