Can Windows NT's web server run DOS executables? The code below should work
fine. I write all my CGI's in DJGPP and they run perfectly on various servers.

It's not really something that's part of DJGPP. The CGI interface is so simple,
there is not much place for error if your program is printing to stdout, unless
of course you're server doesn't like the executable.

Very strange indeed. It should work. Have you tried just plain printf (not that
that makes make difference)?. Maybe this is just a case of an egotistical
Microsoft product not wanting to run a DOS executable.
