Unfortunately I don't.

I have both.  I have a copy of them in winnt\system32 and along side the
excutables.

  The registry entry reads as follows:
    System\CurrentControlSet\Services\W3SVC\Parameters\ScriptMap\
  .fcgi:REG_SZ:c:\Bin\cgi-fcgi.exe -f %s

  Yes, it does work.  Prints just as the program says, from the command
prompt and from Netscape.  But when I run tiny-fcgi_nt.fcgi it invokes
cgi-fcgi.exe (shows in Task Manager), and then just sits there.  I don't
get a no response message or anything from the browser.  And no matter how
many times I do it, it just spawns another instance of cgi-fcgi.exe, it
never reuses the old version.

Thanks for any help,
