Hello Kat,

I am happy ro report that I was able to get a Euphoria CGI script running
on a Linux box.  I'm not claiming to be be a CGI expert but I guess it was
more straight forward for me because I'd written CGI "scripts" in compiled
C before.  Most "CGI'ers" are Perl addicts or use some sort of M$ "point
and clunk" solution.  Mind you writing CGI scripts in compiled C is at
best, "unusual", or more appropriately, "twisted so far it'll fit backwards
both ways (including sideways)".

Anyway the proof is in the code - download:

    http://www.rapideuphoria.com/intphone.zip

If you don't like direct links then search the RDS archive with the:

    intphone

keyword.  As I recall my intention for posting this code was not the fact
that is was a great telephone contact solution (it isn't: bad code and
hardly scalable) but that it was an example of how to write Euphoria CGI
scripts on Linux.

Actually I've just looked at the documentation (dated 24th June 2002: where
does the time go?) and I quote:

  "However, it's main use is to demonstrate using Euphoria as a
   CGI scripting language."

There is a demon in there for sure 

If anyone does actually download this code and has any questions then post
them to the list (or email me privately).  I'll do my best to help and I
might even come up with some novel excuses for my
bizarre/crazy/mad/hopeless coding technique.  Don't hold back folks I need
all the (positive) help I can get!

Regards,

Andy Cranston.
