Web Design - Never Delete a Webpage Re-Revisited

In "Never Delete a Webpage Revisited," I commented on another way to create referrer pages. Those running non-UN*X servers may ask "That's fine and good for them, but what about me?" Depending on your website server software, you may have another option. Look for .htm or file remapping or file aliasing. This option allows you to 'map' one file to another, so when the server gets a request for, say "home.htm," it actually shows the file "home.html." You will need to look in your server software instructions for more information and if it supports this feature.
