I've written a few utilitys to provide enhanced directory indexes
its running, and stable under SCO Unix and APACHE 1.2 (production)

THE GOOD POINTS:

the current version provides some useful features.

The following Columns of information per file or directory
-Filename
-Date
-Size
-Comments  (multi-line auto wrap)
-safety rating
-Distribution policy
-Address of sender
-Sitename of Sender

-Each column can be sorted ascending/descending

-you can customize your settings to choose the columns you want to see and
the sort order.  The information is saved in a cookie.

- it supports HEADER.html and README.html (for compatability)also .htfoot
.hthead and .htstyle so that you can add descriptive footnotes and
introductions to directories.

-you can upload files to selected directories. (at least with netscape)

-you can make new directories

-you can delete files and or directories

-you can edit the file descriptions

-portable it is written in 'C', and Korn Shell

THE BAD POINTS
-file uploads only work with netscape
-it uses tables (not all browsers support this)
-it is not even 'BETA' yet, although we have been using it
 as the default directory index provider locally for several weeks
 without problems.

Is anybody interested in such a critter?
I'm hoping to find some fellow developers who would

a) like to get involved in this in the next few days/weeks
b) have UNIX and APACHE
c) are friends of 'C' and KSH

I would like some early beta testers who are
are aware of security considerations and would
willing to add contribute to this project.

This is NOT a commercial venture, its all FREE(d)
and will be release to the public in source-form.
