Oh, I didn't do that - I was involved in a long series of discussions
that tweaked the way anlgform.exe worked to be more useful, but Jeremy
made the changes, and provided the compiled result.

You don't want anyone to be able to access
http://myserver/analog/analog.exe, because it raises certain security
issues. But they do need to be able to reach
http://myserver/analog/anlgform.exe because anlgform is designed to
filter out any commands that could be passed to Analog that might raise
security issues.

So you need to make sure that whatever directory Analog.exe is in is not
directly accessible through your web server.
