Step 1: Get thee a data file
Your datafile should have fields delimited by some character - generally meaning comma or tab. Records should be delimited by carriage return, line feed or both. The first line of the data file should contain field names.

Step 2: Set up the config file
Copy it from one of the demos. Most of the parameters are self explanatory. You may only need to changed the file names.

Step 3: Create an HTML page with a form
The form should have inputs to enable the user to specify which database records to return. Inputs should have the same names as data fields. The form action should reference the WebDataServer.acgi. Instead of starting from scratch you might want to copy one of the demo forms and modify for your data.

Step 4: Create a header template
The header template contains the html to put at the top of the acgi results. To start quick, just put in <HTML><BODY>.

Step 5: Create a body template
The body template contains the html to put in acgi results for each matching record. To start quick, just put the name of a field inside bullets (option 8).

Step 6: Create a footer template
The footer template contains the html to put at the bottom of the acgi results. To start quick, just put in </BODY>.

Step 7: Fire it up and see what happens
