Folder_list2 is a program creating a list of files from the same folder in which it is saved and returns that list back to the reader. It is a enhancement of one of Jon Wiederspan's CGI tutorial files. For example, you can create an alternative table of contents page or default.html file through the use of this ACGI program. It's output is not overwhelming, but if you have a folder whose contents is constantly changing, then folder_list2 may be a useful script for you.

Alternatively, if you drag a folder on to this script, then it will output the unordered list to you. You may want to then use this list as the beginnings of an HTML page. Its only limitation is that it can not index a folder within a folder.
