The web page template to be presented when authentication passes should, of course, contain instructions about how to proceed — a download link, if appropriate — and ways to contact you in case of problems or confusions. Examples of both of these templates are in the ZIP file at http://willmaster.com/a/11/pl.pl?scbademo Just download, install, and use. service are more important now than they were in the previous economy.
