Hmm..<br>
<br>

So I don't know. It seems to me that there is one difference between the<br>
files that have succeeded as CGI browser formats in the explore CGI box:<br>
<br>
the successful ones are listed as CGI files whereas the ones I tried such as<br>
hello.cgi are still listed as text documents.<br>
<br>
Thanks anyway<br>
Any more suggestions and I will try them out.<br>

It sounds like it might be Notepad or something else that likes to
silently add .txt to all file names.<br>
<br>
In the explorer window, go to the Tools menu and choose Folder Options.
Now select the View tab and find "Hide extensions for known file types"
and make sure this is not ticked. Click Apply, Ok, refresh the window
and see if some of the files now display as name.cgi.txt. If so, remove the ".txt" part and try again.<br><br><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Ian Macdonald<br>
