cgi-exec 1.0.0
by William F. Simmons on December 04th 2000, 02:40 EST
cgi-exec preprocesses data from an HTML form and redirects the data to a CGI script specified in a database located next to cgi-exec.

The environment is protected by disallowing the overwriting of existing variables.
Changes: Initial release.
