I have installed Links v2 on my personal home page AND I LOVE IT.

I wanted to try to see if I could use links at works. I think it will help the site out. But they are on a NT server.

My question is: When will Goss include NT install instruction with their software?? You say in the Unix install instructions that it has been tested on NT. Does it work?

Yes it works on Windows platforms! I have 6 copies running on Windows Me. . And there are (some) Windows installation instructions including:
CHMOD generally is inapplicable to Windows/NT, as is actually pointing to Perl in the shebang. Additionally, many Windows servers are not initially configured to execute .cgi files.

If you want formal Windows/NT instructions, I suggest you ask GT to supply them in the next version (although a next version is not likely) or purchase a liscense.

Happy Coding,

I know all these issues. But thanks for the info.

I have 3 copies running in Unix. I figured that the transfer to NT would be easy ... boy am I wrong!

I guess I'll have to talk to the Goss folks, cuz after reading the Windows Install folder in the forum A LOT of people are having a hard time trying this script on NT.

Not necessarily...CGI scripts programmed in Perl DO work in NT servers, however, in terms of data processing, memory, etc., NT servers do not handle CGI scripts very well (that is why there is a built-in application called Active Server Pages --> ASP and add-on applications like Cold Fusion).
