I guess I'll take my chances with it. One of the primary sites is
the online order page, which is hosted thru my payment processor,
using their CGI. This is a KEY point in selling software, to make it
easy for people to pay, make it easy for them to do it right NOW :-)
I am also advertising my other websites, a new feature I am adding to
my programs. (I run a 50 freebie site.) And obviously, the goal is
to get the folks onto the internet and to the actual website.
None of my sites have CGI capability.
Presumably I can script it to trap for errors.
