BTWCGI - Bin To Win CGI

BTWCGI - Bin To Win CGI
run WinCGI applications from StandardCGI Environment

BTWCGI is a small (31K) and fast 32bit console application that allows a Windows CGI applications (8bit, 16bit or 32bit) to run as a STANDARD CGI applications on Win32-based Web Servers.

BTWCGI verifies the Content, so You can use "multipart/form-data"-forms (i.e. File Attachments) also on those Web Servers, that not supports this type of data or those, that damages the Boundary.

Current Windows CGI implementation looks like (plus/minus :-) ) version 1.3a and [Extra Headers]-compatible with the previous Windows CGI versions.

To use this way, copy "BTWCGI.EXE" to the same directory where placed your Windows CGI application (i.e. "D:\PATH\CGI-BIN") and or (WAY 1a) to the same name like your Windows CGI application but with extension ".CGI" (or other, but not ".EXE", depending on your Web Server software) or (WAY 1b) to the same name like your Windows CGI application plus any character at the end of file name (before extension) and call it instead of original.

      COPY BTWCGI.EXE MYPROG.CGI
        or
      COPY BTWCGI.EXE MYPROG_.EXE

WAY 2: By changing extension of original Windows CGI application to specific associated extension.

To use this way, create custom unique extension (for example ".BTW") and associate it to open with "BTWCGI.EXE" in Windows' File Types or/and in Web Server settings,

change extension ".EXE" of original Windows CGI application to the new one and call it directly.
