A number of sample programs have been included with Irie Pascal in order to help get you started. One such sample program is the HelloCGI program, which is a Common Gateway Interface (CGI) version of the Hello program. When the HelloCGI program is run, it generates a web page with the message "Hello world!". Compiling this program and installing the executable on your web server is a useful way to check whether you have correctly configured the web server to execute Irie Pascal CGI programs.
NOTE: CGI is a very simple and popular way of integrating programs with web servers. You can find further information about CGI on the web (including on the Irie Tools website at the following URL www.irietools.com/cgi). There are also numerous books available that cover CGI.
