No, as its a work PC on a works intranet.
Installing of inappropriate s/w is a real no no.

If it's a work PC, then you could 1) ask you administrator to install
IIS and configure IIS to handle shtml or 2) you could download an SHTML
viewer (Google for one - IIRC softnik makes one)

If this is something that you are doing on a work PC for work, then the
powers that be have to give you the tools to do your job.

Your other option is to install a web server on your home system and you
it as a beta server.

Use "virtual=" rather than "file=":

<!--#include virtual="included-bit.htm" -->

While "file=" works in Apache 1.3 (though it is not mentioned in
the documentation), it doesn't work in Apache 2.X.
