I TOTALLY agree with nic on this one.
I spent a lot of time developing CGI stuff a while ago now, and made the
switch to ASP, when I wound out about it, and apart from SOME Java, I use it
all teh time.
I do tho, use COM dlls etc. written in Delphi with my ASP pages from time to
time too.

Dude, dont waste your time with CGI - its not worth it. Here's good options
if Delphi is a requirement (in _my_ order of preference, which is not other
people's):
ASP (Active Server Pages - microsoft.com? comes with IIS3,4,5 - need the
enterprise version of Delphi 5 tho if you want to write com "objects" for
it)
WebHub - www.href.com
WebModules (friendly ISAPI's - in Delphi 5 enterprise or upsell for about
$450 or so on top of professional)
ISAPI's (DLL's that link into IIS and a few other web servers. Very "raw".)
And, if you dont require Delphi as a language:
JSP (JavaServer Pages - my preference)
Servlets
PHP (ouch - oops, sorry Mark)
etc.
Just please, dont use CGI - its a development and performance nightmare!
Nic.
