Just grab one of the pre-compiled MapServer Windows distributions e.g. MS4W, and copy the cgi-bin to the hosted server's cgi-bin or scripts directory. Then make a request to host/scripts/mapserv.exe and you'll know pretty quickly if they allow CGIs. As long as the required DLLs are in the same directory as the .exe you should have to do a lot more than that. HTH, Rich -- Richard Greenwood [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.greenwoodmap.com
