CD Web Access Management

[TMGB]

So this doesn't get any longer for the wrong reason, I thought I was replying
to the WEB4LIB list not the Innopac list.  The NT Script prg file does need to
run from the WEB Server and of course there is limited access to the web pac.
I use this program to launch CDs  and applications from our library web server
not the webpac.  Also, the URL should have only 3 Ws.

Sorry for any confusion
