Very simple CGI program demonstating how to make a simple web page through code....
Open a new project, remove the default form, add a BAS module, and put this code in the BAS module.
From project properties, make sure the "Startup Object" is Sub Main
Compile the project, and put the exe in the C:\Inetpub\Scripts directory
Right click the exe and give propper permissions to the exe.
Finally, open your browser, and type this: http://localhost/Scripts/MyCGI.exe (that is, if you named your exe MyCGI.exe, otherwise put whatever it's name is)
VB Code:

Send "HTTP/1.0 200 OK"
Send "Content-type: text/html" & vbCrLf
Open App.Path & "\TestFile.txt" For Binary Access Read As #1
Buff = String(LOF(1), 0)
Get #1, , Buff
Count = Val(Buff) + 1
Close #1
Open App.Path & "\TestFile.txt" For Binary Access Write As #1
