Hi Grape.

Your are inserting the #! thingy on your exw file! That's wrong. Here are
step-by-step instructions to make it work on Xitami:

Create on the Xitami cgi-bin directory a text file (use notepad or ed or
whatever you like best) that says:
#! c:\euporia\bin\exw.exe c:\eucgi\mycgi

Remember that the above text must be on the very first line of the
document, and must be followed by at least one blank line.

c:\euphoria\... is the complete path to exw.exe. c:\eucgi\mycgi is the
parameter passed to exw.exe (Euphoria will execute the file
c:\eucgi\mycgi.exw).

On your EuCGI app (mycgi.exw in this example), read the enviormental
variable CGI_STDOUT. It holds the name of the file to where you should
output the HTML code. If you examine these name you'll notice that it
doesn't have a well formed path, so just prepend 'c:\\xitami\\temp\\' or
'..\\temp\\' to it. Open that file for 'a'ppend, open(out_file, "a").

Before sending HTML text, first you must output:
Content-type: text/html

Followed by at least one blank line, puts(fout, "Content-type:
text/html\n\n").

That's all!
