The WebSTAR Directory Indexer footer is a plain-text support file used by WebSTAR web server software for classic Mac OS. It provides footer content for directory index pages generated by the server.
When a file named .footer is present in the relevant directory, the Directory Indexer uses its contents at the bottom of that directory listing. The format is obsolete.
Open a .footer file with a plain-text editor. On classic Mac OS, use a text editor that can read the file without adding formatting; on current systems, any basic text editor can display its contents.
The file is intended for use by WebSTAR rather than as a standalone document.
Because the file contains footer content as text, it can be edited or copied manually when adapting the directory listing for another web server.
