Yeah, I have no files (of any consequence) there, but if I did....
I think that's a serious no-no.  It's a direct violation of my
explicit copyright statement on the site.

Anyway, my site is functioning fine on a nearly-vanilla Apache
install.  I plan to drop a tarball onto the eventual(?) Verio server,
and see if it works.  If it does work, the multiple login names and
such that Verio is offering seem like a decent reason to keep them
as a backup/auxiliary.  If it doesn't work, I'm not going to jump
through any hoops.  It's frustrating to wait so long to see if the
new system will even work for me, but if it doesn't, I'll waste no
time cancelling.  Especially after the Bestwwwd stuff, I'll only
consider web hosts where a generic configuration will work fine (I
believe the only slightly non-standard Apache option I require is
to run CGIs anywhere).
