Its just a dll/so that a CGI is calling on - it's not an apache module or anything. i.e. place a dll in a directory, and have a CGI program call on it.. I got a copy of the psp 1.0 sources and what he is doing is calling the functions from an SO/DLL from a cgi executable.. There are tons of functions like this that another fpc program is calling from the SO/DLL: function something(param: ansistring): ansistring; It's just funny, because a website is the thing you'd think would be the first thing to crash down: a website is accessed by several people at different times in the day, whereas a desktop is not. I visit his forum every day and have never once had a crash! I can post the psp 1.0 sources online if anyone is interested, but probably it is only me who is so curious ;-) _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
