   Subject: AUP GAMMA v6.2.452.1 is very COOL!   
   Newsgroups: winserver.public.gamma.testing   
   Message-ID: <1173524213.40.0@winserver.com>   
   X-Mailer: Wildcat! Interactive Net Server v7.0.454.5   
   Lines: 178   
      
   As Chris Weis can attest too, I battled my brains on how to distribute    
   the new web files, offering its new features, making it optional and    
   backward compatible.   
      
   Well, with the changes I made in my previous post, to errors.wct and    
   login.wct, it is NOW 100% perfect.  You can customize it to your heart    
   content.   
      
   In fact, I am now personally using the optional login-header.wct at    
   winserver.com to display the santronics logo and now the login form    
   isn't so boring with a plain old login box.   
      
   So if you are using cookie-based login forms, like we are at    
   winserver.com, you can create a public\login-header.wct (and    
   public\login-footer.wct) to wrap your login form with some top and    
   bottom content!
