You may then consider the "tiny CGI" concept. You create a very small CGI which load very fast (you can build one being less than 150KB and maybe even less than 100KB and still doing useful things). This CGI would load the DLL which would do the real work. If you manage to also load the same DLL from your server, then the DLL will remains always in memory (DLL is shared by all executables provided the load address is compatible with all executables). Instaed of a DLL, you may make the CGI a gateway to your server (or another one), using any IPC you like. That's the concept used by MidWare WebTechnology and his CGIGate module. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Author of ICS (Internet Component Suite, freeware) Author of MidWare (Multi-tier framework, freeware) http://www.overbyte.be
