Owners of Unix accounts can use simple CGI wizards to enhance their
sites with the following scripts:
All CGI scripts for a particular site are stored in the
cgi-bin
directory, unless specified otherwise. If you accidentally delete any
files in the cgi-bin directory, you can recover them by going
to the Web Options page and clicking the Restore to default
link. Your existing files remain untouched, so you will not lose your
changes. To get rid of undesirable changes in the script files, delete
these files and then click the Restore to default link on the
Web Options page. Also, use the Restore to default link to
fix your temporary index page to default.
See the Contents of Your Home Directory chapter of this manual for more
information on the files and catalogues not to be deleted.

Go to your search page by clicking the View icon:
