-- Telnet Interface for Webmasters

	Originally the Telnet Interface was all in one code, including the
HTML.  Well, that was a concern for most Webmasters because they don't
have a clue how to code.  So what I figured is 'Why not make the HTML
outside the code, and just make the code work for itself.'  It was not
very hard to do, and it looks better to boot.

	Since it works by looking at external files, I made a file called
WEB.H (in the /SRC directory); this defines the file and the code it works
with. An example is below: 

#define PUBLIC_WEB		"../web/public_html/"
#define STAFF_WEB		"../web/staff_html/"

#define PUB_INDEX		PUBLIC_WEB "index.ti"
#define PUB_ERROR		PUBLIC_WEB "error.ti"
#define PUB_STAFFLIST_H		PUBLIC_WEB "stafflist.tih"
#define PUB_STAFFLIST_F		PUBLIC_WEB "stafflist.tif"
#define PUB_WHOLIST_H		PUBLIC_WEB "wholist.tih"
#define PUB_WHOLIST_F		PUBLIC_WEB "wholist.tif"
#define PUB_WWWLIST_H		PUBLIC_WEB "wwwlist.tih"
#define PUB_WWWLIST_F		PUBLIC_WEB "wwwlist.tif"

#define STA_ERROR		STAFF_WEB "error.ti"

	The first set of '#define' states where the directories for the
files are.  PUBLIC_WEB are for all the public files, and STAFF_WEB are for
just staff viewing.  If you ever move the directory, remember to redirect
these in WEB.H; or you will get an error like:  ERROR: Missing or
corrupted Telnet Interface file.

	The second and third set of '#define' are just the files that do
the work.  This is kind of complicated to explain, but I will try my best:

A '*.ti' (Telnet Interface) file is a file that is a whole HTML file, just
with a different suffix rather than '*.html'.  Just like making a regular
file for the WWW, no strings.

A '*.tih' file is the 'header' or 'top' of a HTML file, there is no bottom
closing tags '</HTML>' because after this file is displayed, code from
Telnet Interface will be displayed.

A '*.tif' is not a TIFF graphic file, but a 'footer' or 'bottom' of your
HTML file.  This will display after the code from the Telnet Interface.

An example would be:

		stafflist.tih (The first part, Top of the HTML file)
	+	Code	      (Generated Code from Telnet Interface)
		stafflist.tif (The last part, Bottom of the HTML file)
                -------------
               /stafflist.html

So /stafflist.html would be the output on the WWW Browser.  The public
raves and thinks it is an act of magic, and you know you did it yourself.
