What is this stuff

This directory contains an article I wrote in 2004 for Cindy Chick's excellent web site, LawLibTech. It documents how to improve cost recovery with the US Court's PACER and CM/ECF systems by making the client number a required field.

Also in this directory are code samples I created for that article.

Files

The article

This is the original article, with a short update appended.

coldfusion.cfm

A ColdFusion version. Suitable for use with Lawport 2.6. Users of Lawport 3.6 may or may not be able to use this; frankly, I'm not sure.

iis.asp

A version in VBScript.

perl.cgi

A version in Perl 5.

asp_dot_net.aspx
asp_dot_net.aspx.vb

Two files for ASP.NET. The files actually have ".txt" appended to their names, to try and get around annoying virus filters. Even so, they don't display correctly in Internet Explorer, which wants to ignore the MIME type and file extension and interpret the files. Which doesn't work, because they are neither valid HTML nor valid VBScript. You can download them by right-clicking and using "Save Target As...". Or use Mozilla. Or Safari.
