Some caveats:
-------------
This software is currently a PHP/MySQL software, which means that to
use it you must have a MySQL server and a PHP engine (and your web-server
must supports PHP and MySQL). I tested the software with PHP 4.3.2 and
MySQL 3.23 (both quite old now), as well as PHP 5.0.4 and MySQL 4.1.12.
It may work with even older versions (but it may not). Also, the proper
functioning of this software depend on "proper" functioning of you web-server.
In particular, two issues that I came across are:

* The scripts must be able to write and create sub-directories in the
BASE directory. When using this software on on Linux with an Apache
server (running as user "apache"), I had to chdir to the BASE directory
and make sure the directory and all the files in it are owned by user
"apache".

* The web-server (and the PHP engine) must be willing to upload files.
For example, in one system that I used to test it, the PHP engine was
configured to only allow uploads of files upto 500KB (and I was wrecking
my brains as to why I can only upload pdf and not postscript files..) In
my case it turned out that I had to change the parameter LimitRequestBody
in php.conf (which on that system was somewhere under /etc/httpd/).
