Re: Exec cgi command not working

["Bradley V. Stone" <bvstone@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Did you use the default config that CGIDEV2 sets up, or use the one that I

I'd be happy to supply an easier one if that helps.  Just email me privately
(bvstone at bvstools dot com)

Please note our change of address!  Our new address is as follows:
