    CGI applications using PB 3.5/DOS

    Is it possible to write simple CGI stuff in PB for DOS? All I
    require would be a simple program to randomly choose a .MID file
    (from a text file list, etc.) and send the name of the
    .MID file to a browser to play. Does anyone have any examples
    of CGI stuff using PB? I don't want to learn icky Perl or
    anything that drastic!

    Any programming lanuage that has stain and stout can do cgi scripts. And PowerBASIC has both.

      Hmmm.... well, that much I know. Any examples? How do I pass the
      name of the randomly selected midi file back to the browser?

          Jim,

          PWS for Windows 95/98 supports something called "WinCGI" that allows a DOS application to act as a CGI app.

          IIS in Windows NT/2000 does not support DOS apps as CGI. Netscape's server does, as does the O'Reilly server.

          The instructions for using a DOS application for CGI are included with each web server, since all web servers are different.

          --Dave
