    -By Elaya Manickam Narayanan.

    We all must have used the "Scripting.FileSystemObject" progid to create text
    files. But only a few know that it can be used for writing all kinds of
    files. For example, you can create html files using the filesystemobject.
    And why not, you can even write ASP files using an asp file!
    That's right! An ASP Code generator.

    Here's the complete code of how this can be done:
    Just copy and paste the following code into an asp file. Invoke your browser
    and request the asp file. Eureka! The file generates its own asp file
    (generatedasp.asp) and submits itself.
    For any queries regarding this article mail me at elayamanickam@indya.com.
    Happy programming!
