Ok,

I have looked at gb.web before I began to make a gambas cgi program, but 
I didn't find enough example code to understand all the document references.
Anything available now? How much effort would it take to adapt doc.cgi 
to use gb.web?

I'm using apache because i'm familiar with it's virtual host settings 
etc, the speed is good enough for now, I'm even scanning a dir tree and 
parse files on the fly to generate my web contents, in fact i'm building 
a bloxsom (perl file based blogging) alike program in Gambas.

I will try again with gb.web since I now have more clear what I want my 
CGI script to do, maybe that helps a bit ;-)

Later I need some gb.image functionality like resize etc, would be nice 
for creating a photogallery.
But it depends on gui components, which I don't use ofcourse...

Regards,
Ron.
