I compiled the gif.c that was posted to the net a while back but in the comments of the program it said I needed to set the variables CGIPATH and CGIDISP. I have cgi installed on my xenix/386 2.3.2 but I don't know what to set these values to. If anyone has any ideas could you let me know? I have a vga and set CGIDISP to vga but I don't know what CGIPATH is supposed to be, for that matter I really don't know what CGIDISP is supposed to be. I have RTFMed till I'm blue in the face but I must be missing something. Any help would be greatly appeciated. -- +--------[ Paul Martin at P.S.M.

The CGIPATH environment variable should point to the directory where your cgi drivers reside, normally /usr/lib/cgi. The CGIDISP environment variable should point at the cgi driver you want to use, which for the vga display could be "vgabw," "vga16" or "vga256". For other cgi programs, such as gnuplot 2.0, tek, or starcgi, you may want to set other environment variables, like CGIPRNT, FONTS, or VERIFYFONT as well. -- Ronald Florence {yale,uunet}!hsi!mlfarm!ron

I don't have the vga driver in my cgi. I am running xenix/386 2.3.2. In my release notes it speaks of new vga support, but that appears to be a device driver for /dev. Is there a xnx sls that has the new drivers for cgi in them? I wasn't able to get the above to work with vga, even though I have a vga system, but I did get it to run under ega. Am I just missing something really stupid or am I just missing something? THanks in advance! -- +--------[ Paul Martin at P.S.M.

I have a working GIF reader that does not use CGI, but goes directly to the VGA screen. Any interest? (It's based on the sun-reader MyGif, from comp.sources.misc/volume8)
