If these programs are CGI compliant, just complie them using any C compiler. Then put the .exe files somewhere in your web directories (for example, in /cgi-bin ) and use them as you used to do with Xitami. No changes are required. If you have some technical problems with C CGIs, do not hestiate to contact us or to post your questions here.

Please pardon a newbie question.
What makes a program "CGI compliant"?
Thanx,
Lou |

CGI compliant means that it conforms to the CGI standard (it is available at http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/cgi/overview.html )
Roughly, a CGI program must read the data that the server transfers to him from the standard input channel and get the server variables from the environment variables.
It must then output some headers, a blank line, and the content it generated.
