EXTRACTING THE DB.CGI FILE
I have extracted the 10 files from dbman.zip.
I notice orginal size is 47,019 and is packed to 13,223. I have never used cgi or perl I can not seem to get the cgi file unpacked to the orginal size of 47,019 therefore I am unable to use th database. I have double clicked the file and that did not work. Can anyone help?

Please do send the file by email. I have another question, do you know if I create an input form with dbman and place it on a web site will the data entered in the form be stored in my database?

Yep. Once you get the script configured, it will create the form. Then, when you (or someone else, if you give them permission) fills out the form, the data will go into your database.

The db.cgi script is on its way.
