in reply to remote application starting

If I understand correctly, you are running apache on a win98 box and want to be able to initiate a process on that same box by clicking on a web page.

You don't mention much about what the program is you want to run, but assuming it is a relatively short-lived process, you could simply create a cgi script that uses the system command to execute the program.

      could anyone post the line of code i would need to run this program? it's called lptout.exe and resides in my cgi-bin folder. It takes command line parameter -XXX where x is a decimal digit. this would really help, i cant find any examples on the net!
