3/8     I have a mod_rewrite question that I think should be straight-
        forward but I think I'm not getting something.
        I have a virtual server with some root, say /home/user/public_html/
        and in there I have two subdirs, say /app1/ and /app2/
        and i want the following:

4/2     Is there an interpreted version of C or C++ that can be used for
        educational purposes? It doesn't have to be full-featured or
        strictly adhere to the standards, but it's painful for students
        to change a variable in a for loop and then wait for a compile
        to see how it changes the result. Something really lightweight
        would encourage them to play around a lot more and learn more in

        ^Viiiaaaagggrrra in the message body.  ^V then i+ then a+ ...
        \- a better rule would be to check for the language type, and
           if it's undeterminable or has too many misspellings then
           it's most likely spam email. ps i'm gay ok thx.
