Hi CK:

This, and Rom's comment about the lack of documentation, looks like an 
opportunity to write a tutorial. As it happens, I have an upcoming need for a 
template-driven web-based database app to maintain a database of about 
100,000 customers. If that is along the lines of what you want to do, perhaps 
we could collaborate on this, and turn the discussion into a tutorial?

First of all, in my cgi-bin directory, I have pdexu, get.e, machine.e, 
wildcard.e, strtok.e, database.e -- standard Eu files, with read-only 
permissions for user apache (pdexu must have read + execute permissions set)

demung.e, html.e -- my own file to decode data passed to apache from the 
user's browser, and routines to help in creating html without having to 
hard-code it all. (r/o) You can get these files from the RDS website 
http://www.RapidEuphoria.com/cgi.tar.gz
Be sure to create a cgi-errors directory (readable & writeable by all) off
your / directory. This is where Eu will write error messages.

Download that package and install the files, then try to connect to 
http://localhost.  You have to get that much working before there's 
any way to write the connections to your database.

Regards,
Irv
