CGI4VB problem, or how2 general CGI.exe in VB5

I have got a problem;

I have made some CGI in VB5pro, in CGI4VB.
It worked fine as installed on my local thing here, but now I have uploaded my script to the server, and get a stament like this;

"CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:"
..and here my page follows, in the HTML source it looks so;

"<head><title>Error in CGI Application</title></head>
<body><h1>CGI Error</h1>The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers.  The headers it did return are:<p><p><pre>"
..and my page again as created, but messed up by the <PRE> thing.

I use CGI4VB 1.5, the host of the server use ofcource NT.
Is this a CGI4VB problem, and if, and I can therefor not use it my Q goes;

1; How do I create working CGI in VB5, RAW!
2; I then need the nessesary commands, for fx SEND like in CGI4VB, or PRINT like i think it goes in PERL. ..also the commands for reciving the form input, that my user will send by (???) <FORM ACTION=/cgi-bin/myexe.exe? ...

Thank you! ... hope it's just a correction I need in the CGI4VB.. (but I can not change host!)

Note: The line: "Content-type: text/html" & vbCrLf
is the syntax for assigning the data to a string and wouldn't include quotes or the VB concatenation symbol when sent as part of an HTTP send.
