Thanks for the recommendations. Quite a few people here and elsewhere
mentioned apache, which I have now installed, however can anyone be able to
tell me how I can get my CGI web server application to work on it?

The application is a CGI stand alone executable and is called search.exe. I
have put the application in a subdirectory of the htdocs folder. When I try
to go to the search.exe file from the web browser however it treats it like
a downloadable file, not a CGI application.

I assume I have to add some lines to the httpd.conf file. Can anyone tell me
what I have to add? I'm in a hurry for this so if you can help I am
extremely grateful!

Thanks,
Stephen
