Pugdog, I don't think we're talking about the same thing...
I don't want to output a static looking *page*, I want all the links ON the dynamically-output page to look like they are static.
I don't care what appears in the browser's location bar when the script is processed. It can continue to be page.cgi?whatever. But anywhere there is a link *to* page.cgi on the pages output by any LinksSQL scripts, I want that link-to URL to be the static-looking url...
Here's an example of how subcategory listings are output by page.cgi... The first example shows the URLs currently used in the listings, the second example shows what I'm trying to get.
Example of URLs currently ouput by dynamic LinksSQL pages:

<h2>Categories:</h2>
<div class="margin"><table border=0 width="100%"><tr><td class="catlist" valign="top">
<strong><a class="link" href="
http://thedomain.com/cgi-bin/links/page.cgi?g=Business/Accounting/index.html">Accounting</a></strong> <small><class="numlinks">(0)</small>
<strong><a class="link" href="
http://thedomain.com/cgi-bin/links/page.cgi?g=Business/Business_Services/index.html">Business Services</a></strong> <small><class="numlinks">(0)</small>
<strong><a class="link" href="
http://thedomain.com/cgi-bin/links/page.cgi?g=Business/Business_to_Business/index.html">Business to Business</a></strong> <small><class="numlinks">(0)</small>
</td></tr></table></div>

<strong><a class="link" href="

<strong><a class="link" href="
http://thedomain.com/links/Business/Business_Services/index.html">Business Services</a></strong> <small><class="numlinks">(0)</small>
<strong><a class="link" href="
http://thedomain.com/links/Business/Business_to_Business/index.html">Business to Business</a></strong> <small><class="numlinks">(0)</small>
</td></tr></table></div>
So in other words, the page is still dynamic, it's just a matter of the content of the page containing different link-to urls for subcategories...
Does this clarify the situation?
I appreciate your help so far, Pugdog! Thanks for any additional advice,
