Excellent! Glad to be able to help!
hi jon
you got it! the output always worked to the "screen" but apparently not to
STDOUT. changing the switches in the code and recompiling worked! the
accompanying file was called automatically for it was found via the path.
thanks a million - much appreciated!
regards

Okay, good, at least we verified that the server and basic code are
acceptable. Yes, the dependencies of the file could have an
affect on it... try putting all of the required files in system32 to test
them, but unless you have really good reason to do so, you probably
shouldn't leave them there, as they could be a security
hazard. Another thing that you might try is to put your exe's and dll's into
a folder under your site called "bin" and mark that folder as "Executable"
via the IIS Manager (assuming that you're using IIS webserver software)...
That might make some difference for you. Did you write/compile the
executables? Do they output on "STDOUT"? I don't know all that much about
this, but in VB, for instance, it does NOT by default output on STDOUT, so
you have to include a code module to provide that functionality. Perl, on
the other hand, outputs to STDOUT by default. I have absolutely no idea
about cobol and pascal, however. --Jon
hi jon
thank you so much - the code you provided works perfectly. however,
when i replace whois whith my hello.exe it does not display anything.
could it be that it may have something to do with that these .EXE's?
one is an .exe created in pascal from an old dos compiler, the other a
newer win32 cobol compiler that creates an exe but requires 2 .dll's to
run?
odd how under the command prompt perl hello.pl works perfectly using
either of these .EXEs - but via the browser/cgi they dont work.
thank you so much for any ideas.
