Hi Greg.

Yep... I got the same stuff. The problem is that Xitami doesn't send the
appropiate path for the CGI_STDIN and CGI_STDOUT files. I had to correct
them personally by doing :

cgi_stdout = getenv("CGI_STDOUT")
cgi_stdout = "..\\" & cgi_stdout

The problem is that (if your are using the default Xitami configuration)
these files paths are relative to the Xitami main directory (c:\xitami),
not from the cgi-bin directory.

BTW I'm working on other EuCGIs now: a guestbook system. In fact the "add
guest" CGI is ready. Go to http://www.dabersoft.xitami.net/ I added a nice
"menu" of available resources, follow the EuCGI link. I hope to have
running on some more minutes the view guests EuCGI. Come and visit me so I
know it works!
