Yeah, I cmuImport'd a OSC vsite over to a Nuonce 4.8 BQ server and it
worked fine. I guess I can just continue the php4 service until everyone
gets moved. The one that really gets me is the tectite.com form. A site
has v8.04 and gives the same error if I download v8.16, latest.

'This URL is a Form submission program.
It appears the form is not working correctly as there was no data found.
You're not supposed to browse to this URL; it should be accessed from a
form.'

Not sure the version of OSC I am keeping on BQ for now, the index.php
file head shows...
