Somewhat unorthodox and not recommended. Analog.exe is NOT a CGI program and
will not behave right. If Analog outputs anything you'll get the 'Misbehaved
CGI' error or just a 500 Server Error otherwise you'll get a 'document
contained no data'. For a Win32 executable version of the 3.90Beta1 form
interface see my previous posting today.
As for the error returned, Analog is run as IUSR_WWW (or similar) and
unprivaledged user on the system. This user has only read access to most of
the web area and execute access to the cgi-bin directory. IUSR_WWW never has
write access to the system (you don't want people browsing your website to be
able to write to the system!) so Analog can't create the output file.
