[PLUG] DVD based web site

[frankhunt]

Turns out the problem was Msoft's proprietary MOTW which forces local 
files into a protected zone and causes other mischief.  Pages generated 
with my web editor worked but not those that I built/modified mostly by 
hand.  It's all in (a) the headers; and (b) xhtml.

Thanks to everyone who responded, all is working now and I think I have 
a recipe to avoid future problems.
