Full application details

The CGI has two modes of operation, User and Administrator. The User is the website visitor who wishes to ask a question or make a statement or perhaps answer a question. The Administrator is the webmaster who will maintain the Forum, fixing spelling mistakes, changing the general settings of the Forum etc. and generally making sure that the Forum is running smoothly.

The Forum.exe CGI program is a small stand-alone computer program about 100 kilobytes total size (which is very small) It must by copied to a directory on the web server called cgi-bin (or whichever directory has been assigned to run CGI programs) But it can also be copied to a directory UNDER the cgi-bin directory and in this way you can have several different Forums! As with any CGI programs from Farstand, the Forum CGI will work only on the Windows platform. It should work on any web server software and it should work without any problems side by side with any other software that you are running on your server such as Active Server Pages etc.
