 Oops...
 OK, now I changed all my pages, so the problem isn't any longer very
 important to me...

 Hu???
 What is the difference?
 I used the "View/Page Source" menu of Netscape Communicator...

 I used lines like the following:
 
      <!--#exec cmd="/wwwdocs/cgi-bin/ads-insert it hr"-->
 
 I tried to move the command in many different directory, also the
 current one.
 The command works used in a shell.
 I also tried to change the command with a simple shell script with only
 a "echo hello" line.
 I tied also to set 777 permissions.
 
 And finaly keep in mind that these commands worked perfectly until I
 moved from apache 1.2.x to 1.3.x.
 
 Bye,
