Jane, there are several sites on the Web which offer
free cgi scripts. They are a bit daunting when you first
encounter them, but Matt Wright provides good instructions
with his scripts. If someone is willing to spend a while
following directions and testing, they can use free canned
cgi scripts to do great things.

I have used free scripts for web logs, shopping carts, and
forms.

As one of his services, Matt provides a listing
of free scripts by other people in addition to his own scripts.

You can find 8 free classified ad scripts at:

http://www.cgi-resources.com/Programs_and_Scripts/Perl/

Matt offers his programming services and the names of other
programmers at:

http://worldwidemart.com/scripts/

I'm sure that you can do the classified ads for far less
than the quotation.

Regards,
Virginia
