MacOS9 should be supported as there are tons of webservers still running securely in OS9.

Hello. Please seriously consider making a Mac OS 9 version of SimpleForum which will run on Mac servers such as WebSTAR. Mac OS 9 web servers do NOT use the "/" for directory separators; they use the ":". However, the "/" is used in normal web URL's. There are still MANY people using WebSTAR and other Mac servers under Mac OS 9, simply because their machines do not support OS X, so we REALLY need a Mac OS 9 version of SimpleForum. It would probably take you less than half an hour to made the necessary changes to your script by replacing certain "/" with ":". I would do it, but I don't have the PERL experience, and it is prohibited to tweak your script anyway. Please think about us OS 9 Mac server users. THANK YOU!
