Thanks Chris, I had heard about FastCGI, but never looked into it as what I
had been doing (regular Dolphin CGI) worked at the time. Now our webhost
has decided to get creative and it doesn't work anymore. :( The
functionality of the Dolphin script was fairly simple, so I may just rewrite
it in ASP. The FAST CGI sounds interesting if I can find a host that
supports it. I never enjoy looking for webhosts. I usually find a decent
one, and then in a few years their competence gradually diminishes and I
have to find another.
