Looking for information beyond basics

Does anyone know of a good book our website that really delves into conditional SSI? I've done quite a bit of searching and so far have only found info on the basics, and only one book listed on Amazon (with no description). What I'm interested in doing is using SSI for a table on my website that list our upcoming tradeshows. I want it to automatically highlight the upcoming show, so I don't have to keep doing it every month. I figured out how to do it using if/else with DATE_LOCAL, but it doesn't completely function like it should (some conditions are returning "true" when they should not). I think if I could get a better understanding of conditional SSI and just how it works, I could figure this thing out and find other ways to use it in my site.

On a similiar theme -

I run windows server 2000 and know very very little about it!

I want to allow ssi's on .html pages - how do i do this?

Also, to cut down on processing, is there a way that i can set it up only for selected sites?

Thanks guys.

jatar_k,
Thanks for the link. However, the information there is still pretty basic. I appreciate the help, though.

I've had some trouble myself finding a good dictionary type list for all functions/vars that you have to work with in SSI.

I used to use it all the time but now I use PHP for everything and when I have need to use SSI I have to shake the rusty memories out to get it written. It would be nice to have a solid bookmark that I can refer to when in need.
