Dos Gateway Interface DEMO
First form calls virtual script echo.dgi, which is equivalent
to online CGI script doing just echo $QUERY_STRING command.
The form should only demonstrate how simple the user interface can be.
Power GREP simple DGI query will call DOS utility find
if it is installed on your PC!) and tell it to search all HTML files
in current directory and its subdirectories (cache)
(find string \*.* /S - Open DOS
implementes /S tag, I don't know if it is also in MSDOS)
This demonstrates, that
even unmodified DOS programs can be integrated to your Intranet.
(Press Enter in the input box to start...)
Note for programers:
If you want to create your own DGI scripts
(to add user friendly interface to your offline programs, or to put them localy online
on LANs with Novell servers), simply add their definition to file
MIME.CFG. If you want to distribute your DGI script,
you don't even have to write your own setup program, just learn to
distribute Arachne DGI components using Arachne Package
Manager!

Arachnne homepage, so anyone can
