Okeedoke, the people have spoken!  My intent was to ferret out the proper
parameters for _designing an upload page_ , not to make yall march to some
sort of M$-like "standard."

New proposal for tut reqs:

one       HTML file per "tutorial".
          It must be "one web page" of any length (any y dimension,
          any number of lines if you will), but formatted to fit
          on a 800 pixel width screen.
          Obviously, you can submit tutorials on as many topics
          as you wish.

up to 10  JPG's which are accessed by <IMG SRC=".. calls in the html.

up to 10  TXT files for any embedded *.POV files, accessed by
          <a href="....  calls in the html
          You can use <CODE> for shorter snippets of pov code within
          your main html if you wish.

no file size limit, but _no guarantee_ of CD inclusion if your tut has sixteen
3200x2400's on how to make a sphere...
