I like to know just a few things about CGI,
hope someone can tell me what to do...

First, I've finally a CGI-BIN directory, yeah!... :)))

Now I like to create a thing in Visual Basic, and use this on
my website. The problem is, I need some help to start...

First: I need to know if its possible in Visual Basic to (LOAD)
a file thats in my CGI-BIN, for example this my work directory:

/CGI-BIN/vbasic-prog/
project1.exe
data.txt

project1.exe is ofcourse my project, this project need to load
the data.txt file. in this file theres data to do some output.
Lets make it easy, inside data.txt theres only the text:

HELLO WORLD

welz, is it posible to load this data into my Visual Basic project
and write this into a HTML so I can display this on a hyperlink request?

And how can I start my project in a HTML?...

Would someone, PLEASE PLEASE help me?... PLEASE !!!

Hope there aren't too many glaring errors!

<snip>

<a
href=http://www.domain.com/cgi-bin/vb-project/project1.exe?a=2&b=3>Link</a>

in the above snippet everything between the '?' and '>' is optional, and is
a way to pass variables to the exe at run-time.

Hope that helps.

/cgi-bin
    test.exe

then the HTML might look like:

<a href=/cgi-bin/test.exe>Test Program</a>

When testing on a PWS on a win9? computer, several restrictions aren't
active as on a WinNT server!
Don't use forms/msgboxes or anything else that is used to display
something on the screen, the VB-CGI will lock up and will stay in the
memory, thereby risking that the WinNT server will lock up after
several tests (yes it's possible).
Use CGI4VB from Kevin O'Brien, his code is very useful and free.
