The scripts in this folder are working CGI scripts (they will require minor modifications to work with your server) that let you convert files on the fly to display on your web site. See you web server's manuals for information on how to use CGI scripts. Opening these scripts in the Apple Script Editor will also display some help information. Here's what these scripts do:
activeserve.cgi - The user is allowed to select a file from a popup menu in an HTML form. The CGI then looks at what the user has chosen and finds the appropriate text file. The file is then converted with HTML Markup and shown to the user in HTML format. All the conversion is done only when requested!
convertstring.cgi - The user inputs some text into a textarea portion of an HTML form. The script gets this text and converts it on the fly, returning the text to the web browser.
These scripts were done with guidance from Jon Wiederspan's "Planning and Managing Web Sites on the Macintosh", an excellent book from an excellent author. I highly recommend this book if you are interested in CGI scripting on the Macintosh.
