I've been using Rebol CGI with Windows 2000 and IIS for around six months
now. This doesn't seem like the way we set up IIS to run Rebol as a CGI
process (though it does seem familiar). We got it going a lot easier than
this. Unfortunately, I've forgotten how to do it!! I believe there's a
tutorial on IIS 5 from the MS help site which shows how to set up generic
CGI scripts which was helpful?
