CGI / Binary Read

[Chipp Walters]

You can check out my altSAFileUp Library at
http://www.altuit.com/webs/altuit2/RunRev/Downloads.htm

It successfully uploads files in forms using the standard RFC1867 and should
work with any compliant serverside toolset. This addresses the UPLOAD client
side...I don't know about the server MC-CGI.

But how do you upload them?
