tried to look in the Help files and I've come to the conclusion that I need
to "Set Application Mappings", however, this option seems to be available
only to IIS servers. Anyone got any idea of how to make it work with PWS?
Actually, I just got REBOL working on my own MS Personal Web Server, about
an hour or two or three ago. It works well, and I like it.
What do you need to do?
There's this from Allen K:

Copied from a post by Ira from June 1999). Following these directions is how
I got REBOL working on PWS..
Add a new string value to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\W3Svc\Parameters\Script
Map with name of .r (this is the suffix for the rebol script) and data
value of
c:\rebol\rebol.exe -cs %s
(obviously substitute the appropriate path to your executable).
Your rebol cgi scripts should reside in your PWS Scripts directory.

I changed:
c:\rebol\rebol.exe -cs %s
to suit my directory:
C:\PROGRA~1\REBOL\REBOL.EXE -cs %s %s
I also added another "%s", due to my own FUD.
Then I _restarted_ my computer, after I found that it didn't seem to work. I
put REBOL cgi script/s here:
C:\Inetpub\scripts
In my copies of REBOL cgi scripts, for this:
system/options/cgi/query-string
I substituted this:
either none? system/options/cgi/query-string [
""
][
system/options/cgi/query-string
]
Otherwise 'decode-cgi complained about invalid strings.
In Personal Web Manager, I made sure that PWS was on and that the /scripts
directory (from the advanced tab), had all permissions on.
Then I clicked on my home page and added to the existing url:
scripts/tictac.r
and it all went.
I hope that helps!
If not, I'll be awake sometime later tomorrow/today/yesterday.
It's probably in the wrong order, but do it all and restart, and it should
go!
