EPIC Web Utilities -- AnyURL CGI forms utility


Determining your version of AnyURL
'cd' to the AnyURL source directory and 'grep' the source:
% cd AnyURL
% grep version AnyURL.c
For version 1.4 or newer, the error output page (example) will include the version number.
For version 1.5, directly executing AnyURL will produce the error output (including version number).
