CGI and VB??

I have heard that visual basic can be used for CGI scripts. I have searched the VB5 help, but it has nothing about CGI scripts. Does anyone know if VB can be used to make CGI scripts, and if it is, how would I go about making one? Thank you for your time!

I think how this works is the host server must have the windows scripting host installed and the web server must be configured to accept vb script files as executables.

It can, without being used under WHS. Either use ASP, or take a look at CGI4VB (do a search).

You can emulate CGI usage.. and yes it is possible without using ASP or all that ****.. BUT BUT BUT (there's always buts) The host server needs to be Windows XX and also it needs to have the VB runtime files...

I've successfully used Qbasic to make CGI scripts.. so you see it's possible..
the thing is that when you use VB you need to first of all make it return everything in a console instead of a window.. and usually you use the "print" command instead of writing some **** on the form.. infact you don't use forms... I don't have much info at this time..
