The definitive answer:
1. Keep the data from being cached in the fat.db file with the HTTP header:
Pragma: no-cache
2. Keep the data from being cached in memory with the HTTP header:
HTTP/1.0 500 Error
3. Keep the POST data from being cached by using a redirect between the
form submission and the resulting page
You need to use CGI's to achieve each of these. You can't achieve them with
code on HTML pages.
