  20. Many thanks again to those pointing out typos
  21. and nuances. The next hurdle has to do with the
  22. FORM
  23.  
  24. <Form action="http://www.mcw.edu/cgi-bin/bioet/iconx?docgi" method=post>
  25.  
  26. This works. icont actually generates a shell script
  27. with a binary icode attachment. For some reason
  28. the http server did not like that script. It looks like:
  29. -------------------------------------------------------------------------
  30. #!/bin/sh
  31.  
  32. case $# in
  33.    0) exec "${ICONX-/db1/local/httpd/cgi-bin/bioet/iconx}" "$0";;
  34.    *) exec "${ICONX-/db1/local/httpd/cgi-bin/bioet/iconx}" "$0" "$@";;
  35. esac
  36.  
  37. [executable Icon binary follows]
  38. ...
  39. -------------------------------------------------------------------------
  40. But iconx can skip over the script and run the
  41. icode. Nifty.
  42.  
  43. So next comes passing parameters. I now the form
  44. should be using name/value pairs.
  45.  
  46. <Form method=post
  47. action="http://www.mcw.edu/cgi-bin/bioet/iconx?docgi=1&value1=name1">
  48.  
  49. doesn't seem to work. Unfortunately they've removed the c compilers
  50. so I can't generate a compiled executable via iconc. Any other tips?
  51. Regards,
  52. Chris.
