RE: .shtml?

the two are actually quite different. ASP is a server side scripting
language that can perform many actions. .shtml (SSI) is typically a one line
statement that tells the server to perform a specific action, such as
include text from a file, or the last modified date of the page.

Another way to look at it is that SSI does not have control statements, such
as:

--------------------
If [condition] Then
	[program statements]
Else
	[program statements]
End If
--------------------

What is the difference between .shtml and .asp?

Is it just one of Microsoft Vs. Apache terminology, or does it go deeper
than that?

SHTML is an extension for files that are to be parsed by the web server for
Server Side Includes (SSI).  SSI is a simple notation that is inserted into
plain old HTML telling the server to include things such as text, file mod
dates and more.  Any good HTML text will have more info of SSI.  You can
