Hi, Declan,

Thanks for writing to us about your problem.

File opening shouldn't be a problem.  Could you explain in more detail of 
the kind of problem you are experiencing?  Also, could you tell us your 
machine configuration.  e.g.  Is it a Sun, or SGI machine?  What OS is it 
running?  do you get a core dump?  Does the program crash when you try to 
open a file?

I am the author of the webspace program.  I haven't heard any bug report 
so far.  Can you be a little more specific about what the problem is 
with labeling?  

I am assuming that you have perl installed correctedly on your system, 
and that you have BOTH the weboogl.perl and to-weboogl.perl scripts.

What did you use on your command line for the webspace program? 

Please let us know.
