First CGI attempt

[Monte Goulding]

Hi Mark

Doublecheck that the first line of your cgi is:
#!mc

if mc is located in the cgi-bin or:
#!<full path of mc> if it's located elsewhere

Also doublecheck you are doing what the WebServer expects by outputting the
length of the output then cr&cr then the output

Cheers

Monte
