      • gwd.xlc: black list to exclude access to specific web domain or users.
      • gwsetup: auxiliary server for base management

    • LICENSE.txt
    • LIZEZMOI.txt
    • README.txt
    • START.htm : a minimal start page (assumes that gwd and gwsetup have been started)

geneweb and gwd script files have .bat extension on Windows and .command extension on macOS.

Note also that the minimal gwd start script provided in this distribution folder installs a bases folder in the distribution folder itself. You may choose to keep this organisation rather than maintaining a separate folder.

You may also rename the main folder to any name of your choice, but don't forget to use the same name if you use CGI mode in the cgi-bin/gwd.sh launch script and the gw link to the style and JavaScript files at the web_root.
