I was just wondering if you were able to have a go at this?
I am enquiring about this as I have a number of forms that call command
line software
via a small cgi program that creates the command lines. With lynxexec,
if a parameter is
wrong or missing then the program at the command line has to deal with
it (which is what I want) but with lynxcgi I have to deal with all
eventualities in the cgi program, which is going to be a pain to catch
all of these.
Would it have been possible that my predecessor hacked Lynx 2-4-2 to get
lynxexec to work
or was the use of it with ACTION altered later?
Cheers
