Further Information About This Framework
World Wide Web home page:
http://arpp.carleton.ca/grant/mac/grantscgi/
Grant's CGI Discussion, Announcements, and the Source Updates mail lists:
I've set up a mailing list for discussing this framework. It is intended to be a forum for information, ideas, questions and announcements about about writing CGIs (and the CGIs that have been written) using Grant's CGI Framework.
Send a message with the command "subscribe" (without quotes) as the subject to:
grantcgi@arpp1.carleton.ca
There is a list for those who only want the announcements - no discussion. It is mutually-exclusive with the grantcgi list, meaning that you can only subscribe to one of them since all the postings to grantcgi-announce are also made to grantcgi.
Send a message with the command "subscribe" (without quotes) as the subject to:
grantcgi-announce@arpp1.carleton.ca
You can also subscribe to a mailing list which will send you periodic updates to the framework as they are released (both interm and regular releases). All updates are sent as Stuffit attachments (HQX MIME format). The archives are not sent to either of the two other lists.
Send a message with the command "subscribe" (without quotes) as the subject to:
grantcgi-source@arpp1.carleton.ca
If you want more details on any of the lists, just send the command "help" instead of "subscribe".

On the "CDWeb" Vol. 11 CD included with the Japanese "Internet User" Magazine, 1995 No. 12. in "CDWeb Vol. 11:Starter Kit:WWW:Server:CGI:grants-cgi-framework-10b10:"
"Displays the data received from the HTTP-Server and transforms it into an HTML-page which is returned to the server/client as response. Thus the CGI is a nice tool to check forms, for example."
