Just run it by hand, e.g.
cd \inetpub\scripts
.\dnewsweb -latest latest.tpl >d:\toppage.htm

I think this means it's failing in some way, probably if you try it manually
as above you will see whats wrong, the most likely causes are:
1) it can't find dnewsweb.ini (it should be run from the cgi-bin
or scripts directory)
2) it can't write to the files
Let me know of running it manually doesn't resolve this problem. Stick with
the example template until you have it filling out the file properly then
try your version.
