	1. Description
	--------------

program, but it can be used for other CGI handling.

It can be also used alone to echo or check for required variables,
or in combination with batch scripts.

For additional information se documentation in html directory.
See history.txt for information about changes made in this version.

	2. Installation
	---------------

When You unpack CGIex102.zip archive You will find following directories:

- bin
	This directory contains binaries (i.e. programs) distributed with
	CGIexecutor package.

- html
	Html directory contains documentation for CGIexecutor in HTML form.

- demo
	This directory contains sample projects for CGIexecutor
	to help You learn how to use CGIexecutor.


You can install CGIexecutor in two ways:


First (and simpler) way to install CGIexecutor is to add directories with CGIexecutor package
to directories Your HTTP server will search. To do so see documentation for Your HTTP server.
You have to provide following names and access rights for directories:

	- bin
	Name: /cgiexec/bin
	Access: Execute

	- html
	Name: /cgiexec/html
	Access: Read

	- demo
	This directory does not have to be in directory tree of Your HTTP server.

	NOTE: Sample projects assume that CGIexecutor directories are stored in
	/cgiexec directory in Your servers directory tree.
	If You specify other name for this directory You have to edit
	files in demo directory to point to correct location.
	Also edit sample front ends in html directory.


Second way to install CGIexecutor is to copy files as follows:


	- bin
	Copy files from this directory to directory which have permission for programs
	to be executed from Your web server.


	- html
	Copy files from html directory to directory which is searched by Your HTTP server
	and has read access.
	This directory also contain front ends for sample projects which are stored in demo
	directory. To make them work You have to edit them to point
	to cgiexec.exe on Your system.


	- demo
	This files does not have to be in directory which is accessible by web server but
	they must be available for reading for other programs.
	To make these samples to work correctly You have to edit all variables which
	contain names of files to point to corresponding files on Your system.
	PATHS MUST BE RELATIVE TO CGIEXEC.EXE, OR ABSOLUTE PATHS.
	Also You have to edit templates when they contain references
	to cgiexec.exe to point to URL where CGIexecutor is placed.
