What platforms are the two machines?

Melissa,

Sorry, I should have included that info. They are both Windows based
machines. My local system is WinXP Pro SP2.

tcl_platform(os) = Windows NT
tcl_platform(osVersion) = 5.1

I actually wasn't sure about the specifics of the remote system, so I
added those vars to my CGI output. It reports:

tcl_platform(os) = Windows NT
tcl_platform(osVersion) = 5.2

Though I'm not sure, I guess 5.2 must be Windows Vista? Any other
thoughts?

Thanks,


Jeff
