COMPILING THE OBJECT
--------------------
  To compile the "cgi-util.o" object, simply type:

      make


COMPILING AND RUNNING THE TEST CGIS
-----------------------------------
  Compiling
  ----------
    The test CGI programs, "test.cgi" and "filetest.cgi" can by compiled by
    issuing:

        make test-cgis

  cgi-bin directory
  -----------------
    Depending on how your webserver is set up (check with your system
    administrator or look in your webserver's configuration files), you
    may or may not need (or want) to move the "test.cgi" executable binary
    into a "ScriptAlias" directory (usually called "cgi-bin" or "cgibin").

  The test forms, "test.html" and "filetest.html"
  -----------------------------------------------
    Edit the "test.html" and "filetest.html" HTML files so that the HTML
    forms' "action" values are set to the URL for "test.cgi" and
    "filetest.cgi", wherever that is on your webserver.  For example:

        <form action="URL-TO/test.cgi" method="get">

    Where "URL-TO/test.cgi" is the URL address where "test.cgi" can be found.

  Opening the form HTML file
  --------------------------
    Open the "test.html" or "filetest.html" file in a web browser.  You
    should see an HTML page with a simple form.

  Setting permissions on the HTML file
  ------------------------------------
    If, instead, you get an "Error 403: Permission Denied," then make sure that
    the permissions for the files are set properly.  Typically, "read" access
    for "owner," "group" and "other" is what you need.  Check with your
    system administrator for details.  You can set these permissions (plus
    the ability for you, the "owner," to be able to write to the file) with
    the command:

        chmod 644 test.html filetest.html

    Now, try using your browser's "Reload" option to try opening the file
    again.  If you have further difficulties, check with your system
    administrator.

  Fill the form out
  -----------------
    Fill out the form and submit it (with the "Ok" submission button) and you
    should see the results from the CGI.

  Error 403?
  ----------
    If, instead, you get an "Error 403: Permission Denied," then either
    the directory containing the "[file]test.cgi" file, or the
    "[file]test.cgi" file itself, have incorrect permissions.  Check with
    your system administrator.

    Both directories and executables typically need to have "read" and
    "execute" access set for "owner," "group" and "other."  This can be set,
    along with "write" permissions for yourself, the "owner," with the command:

        chmod 755 FILENAME

    Where "FILENAME" is either the path to the directory whose permissions
    are set incorrectly, or the path to the "test.cgi" or "filetest.cgi"
    executable binary itself.

  Error 404?
  ----------
    If you got an error 404, then the URL address in the test HTML forms'
    "action" fields are incorrect.

  Once fixed, use your browser's "Back" option to go back to the form,
  and then "Reload" it so that the corrected URL is used when you submit
  this time.

  Error 500?
  ----------
    If you got an error 500, then the CGI program crashed for some reason.
    Check to see if a "core" file exists in the directory where you placed
    "test.cgi" and "filetest.cgi" and try debugging it.


INSTALLING
----------
  This section of the document explains how to install the "cgi-util"
  library onto your server in a place where everyone (or just you) can get
  to it, if you feel like it is something you'd like to do.  This is
  entirely optional.  Note: you'll need root privledges to install it
  in the standard global places.

  Global
  ------
    Switch to a user with superuser privleges and simply type:

        make install

    The "cgi-util.h" header file will be placed inside your server's
    "/usr/local/include/" directory, and the "cgi-util.o" object file
    will be compiled (if it hasn't been already) and placed inside
    "/usr/local/lib/".  A static library, "libcgi-util.a", and a shared
    library, "libcgi-util.so", will also be created and placed inside
    "/usr/local/lib/".

  Somewhere Else
  --------------
    You can also set the installation paths by either editing the "LIBDIR="
    and "INCDIR=" lines in "Makefile", or setting the values when you
    run "make install".

    Depending on where you set the paths, you may or may not need to have
    superuser privleges.

        make install LIBDIR=~/lib INCDIR=~/include

  Just the .o
  -----------
    If, instead, you wish to only install the plain "cgi-util.o" object
    file and the "cgi-util.h" header file, type:

        make install-o

  Just the .a
  -----------
    Or, if you want to install only the static "libcgi-util.a" library and
    the "cgi-util.h" header file, type:

        make install-a

  Just the .so
  ------------
    Finally, if you want to install only the shared "libcgi-util.so" library
    and the "cgi-util.h" header, type:

        make install-so
