hey create a directory for it to "live" in and put the files there.
it is a powerful program that does many things but the configureing
takes some getting used to.

yea I typed that twice yesterday in error
should have been http://vtdl.net/share/ac_admin.
It seem im always typeing that wrong, so i edited the apache cfgs
and gave it an alias it shouldn't matter wich you use now, both should
end up in the same place.
sorry!
BTW http://vtdl.net/share is the root dir for my public bbs files areas.

I've been procrastinating about running a new phone jack to this room.
About all that phone number is used for these days is to give to telemaketers
