Hmmm we want you to build this house, here are the boards and the nails.
Sorry no hammer or saw you *must* use this shovel and screw driver! Yep,
it does sound that dumb.

If your not using a web webserver there is nothing to direct you to such
pages...

In HTML? No.
Better idea! If your bosses don't want to use a webserver because they
see $$ when looking ate M$'s $erver $oftware then look up Apache
http://www.apache.org/ Welcome! - The Apache Software Foundation
More webservers on the Internet use this server, and yes it works on
Windows, and yes you can install it without ponying up the $$.
Then build an intranet server that will actually *works*, what your
bosses want will not.

Take care,
