So, most people know that you can control the content-type in an agent called by an Ajax request (or any type of agent for that matter) by using this line: print |content-type: text/plain| which will result in plain text being sento to the browser, of course you can also send HTML, XML, JSON or any other content type that you so choose.

When it comes to installing Lotus Notes there are a lot of conflicting ideas floating around. I'd like to shed a little light on them. Existing Notes shops typically have their Notes clients installed in C:\Notes and the data in C:\Notes\Data. This selection predates the Win95/NT/XP days. While that is working perfectly fine it makes Notes a little the odd child on the block, since all other software gets installed in C:\Program Files. When you install Notes on a clean machine it will suggest
