Re: reading cookies into rpg-cgi

Mark,

I have a service program wrapper for cookie reading/writing.
It makes things VERY easy to do.  It's part of my next book,
but I can get it to you if you want.  Email me privatly and
I'll get it out to you (and anyone else who wants).

The only thing I ask is when my next book comes out, you buy
it.  :)
