Well cut and paste the bit before the body statement to just after it.

clock_t startsort,endsort;
double total;
cout << "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; // because we will generate HTML
cout << "<HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY>
Cgi *input = new Cgi();
try
{
input = new Cgi();
}
catch (Cgi::CgiException& e)
{
cerr << "Error while decoding" << endl << "(maybe called from command-line?)." << endl;
// do some other error processing
}
// here: instead of using cin, now you read from the form
// LOOK at the access to input[]: IT MEANS THAT THE VARIABLE NAME IN FORM.HTML IS "town"
string townName = (*input)["town"];
double total;
cout << "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; // because we will generate HTML
cout << "<HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY>
Cgi *input = new Cgi();

string townName = (*input)["town"];
Try this and make sure that the image is in the same directory as the the CGI and if that doesn;t work put it in the root directory. The reason for the difference is that some servers make the CGI containing the directory the Base whilst others leave it at the root or referrer directory.
cout << ""<HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY
cout << ""<HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY

okay I'll try it and let you know
Whoops a double double quote sneeked in there it should read
cout << "<HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY BACKGROUND=\"myimage.jpg\"
cout << "<HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY BACKGROUND=\"myimage.jpg\"
