I'm not at that machine at the moment, but I'll check it this evening when I 
get to it. IIRC I used 2.6.1. I don't recall using the db library with the 
cgi setup: I was particularly interested at the time in using ajax and css 
in conjunction with script-generated html files. That part all worked out 
fine. And there's no specialized cgi engine for Windows - I just grabbed the 
rev engine and installed it in the IIS cgi directory. (and fiddled with IIS 
permissions and config files, etc until it worked).

<g> you're in good shape, then. But I still think it's a pain to have to 
remember to fix the line endings each time you move a file over to the 
Windows server. And the error message you get when you haven't fixed them is 
quite misleading.
