The Dos window doesn't matter, it will not pop up when the server launches the program. i.e. this is also a good thing, because you can run your CGI programs as Doss windows before you deploy them, and treat them just like a regular Dos program. You can post to the FPC users list you know, this list is more for the development of the Pascal language and the Pascal compiler. If you want to learn about sessions/gzip/headers/cookies you can take a look at the various CGI implementations for FPC, as they are existing working examples which take care of almost all basic CGI tricks. The toughest thing to implement is GZIP probably, so don't worry about that first. _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
