VB apps must run in cgi-win, and what free server allows this?


<div>
VB apps don't *have* to use cgi-win, they can be programmed to use standard CGI using STDIN and STDOUT. There's a file on the web, CGI4VB, which does this for you. If you are doing a new application I recommend highly using this, there's a lot more support for standard CGI out there than for cgi-win.<br />
<br />
But if you have existing cgi-win programs or source and just want to make it work, you can get a free server that supports cgi-win at O'Reilly Software. Their latest version, Website 2.0, is free for 30 day eval, but the old 1.1 version is completely free (not eval). Click on the &quot;free software&quot; link on the left side of the page at <a href="http://software.ora.com/" rel="ugc">http://software.ora.com/</a>.<br />
<br />
Good luck!<br />

You can run VB apps from any NT/95 web server with :<br />
a. WINCGI - yuck.<br />
b. VB4CGI or VB5CGI<br />
<br />
also, you can take a look at the book: &quot;CGI programming with Visual Basic 5&quot; on instructions on how to do this right...<br />

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.
