Misc Components
The sessionManager class was originally written by
Rich Smith for DevShed
and modified for use in DOMBlogger. The class in included with
permission from Rich Smith. I consider my modifications to the
class to be Public Domain. If
you want to distribute the class, that is between you and Rich
Smith, I have no objection.
