Frontier is a fast, versatile scripting language. A huge number of useful CGIs written in Frontier exist and there are good references available on the Net on programming in Frontier.

Installing Frontier

The step by step guide to Installing Frontier:

• Download Frontier
• Unpack Frontier
• Rename the folder "Frontier 4.1" to "Frontier"
• Place the folder in the root of the WWW folder.
• Rename "UserLand Frontier™" to "Frontier.fcgi"
• Launch Frontier.fcgi
• Frontier askes you to personalize it - do so
• Download "CGI Framework 3.1b1.sit" (At the time of writing this was available in /info-mac/dev/osa/.)
• Unpack CGI Framework
• Double Click Installer
• Double click the "traps.WWWΩ for NetPresenz" file that comes with NetPresenz

IMPORTANT: Not the one that comes with the CGI Framework! There is a new version of "traps.WWWΩ for NetPresenz" which comes with NetPresenz. Also, make sure you install the CGI Framework before installing "traps.WWWΩ for NetPresenz" the traps installer copies over entries in the Frontier CGI Framework.

• Make an alias to the Frontier.fcgi application and call it "samples.tellParams.fcgi" (The actual frontier code for this is in suited.webServerScripts.samples.tellParams.fcgi).
• Put the alias in the root of your WWW folder.
• Launch NetPresenz is it's not already running (and configure it if necessary).
• Connect to /samples.tellParams.fcgi"> http:///samples.tellParams.fcgi

The above instructions install the standard Frontier example CGI. We've also included another example CGI. To try the alternative example CGI:

• Double click "NetPresenz FCGI Installer" file that comes with NetPresenz
• Make an alias to the Frontier.fcgi application and call it "NetPresenz.paragraph.fcgi"
• Put the alias in the root of your WWW folder
• Connect to it via the Example form
