[thelist] Including CGI output.

Excellent points, thank you. I've turned all of the permissions on since
this is a test server, so I've got that covered. I've tried various
locations and paths. Even when I get the CGI to fire I don't get any results
back. I've taken this up with the WebSTAR folks directly now.

My personal preference:

    Apache on Unix (pick your flavor)
        IIS
            WebSTAR

Why? Because that's my order of preferences for server platforms. They're
all great Web servers, in my opinion. I'm researching materials for 4D
developers, so my preference in this case is:

    IIS
    WebSTAR

Some 4D people prefer Mac, some prefer Windows, some don't care. I don't
care.
