Thanks for the reply.

Actually, since my original post, I did discover that I needed to grant
execute access to that file, and it now executes just fine.  As I told
another responder offline, the part that really has me stumped is this:

How do I translate between the world of MPE and Apache?  For example, say I
want to create a CGI that accepts a client ID number from a browser request,
does an Image database lookup, and returns a client address.  How do I get
the client# from the web world into a COBOL program and how do I get the
address from the COBOL program back to the web world?  The documentation I
have found on the web has been very vague, if it even mentions it at all.

Any help would be appreciated.
