Yep, it works fine.  It's for the CS Club web page, which has a redirect
put there by the last developer to save the original page.  I tried to
replace it, and it worked fine, but it broke all the links because I
redirected it to another directory.  I'm sure it will work fine for the
perl scrip on my new version of the page.

I don't know how to do flash.  I do applets, but only when necessary,
and you can do most things without.  Popups are the web's version of
SPAM and any site that uses them should have it's developer castrated.
