Hi Norm,

Perfect. Now I get it. Still find the original tip puzzling
though. I'd reword it as follows:

"If left empty, wmsparse will be looked for under it's
default location /path/to/chameleon/htdocs/common/wmsparse.
If not found there, the built in PHP parser will be used
(slower and obsolete). One needs to compile wmsparse and
make sure it's available under the default location or put
his custom path to wmsparse if needed."

Lengthy and could use better English but along these lines
would be understandable for newcommers IMHO.

I don't even know what "Chameleon as a remote server" means
so I should be OK :). Thanks for the hint. How can I learn
what it is, though?

I'm on GNU/Linux. I prefer to setup things myself to
understand how they work, to some extent. Chameleon has been
one of the thoughest to achieve that, for me. The lack of
up-to-date docs is one of the reasons. Main help [1] is
"Last Updated: 2005/03/20".
