Running EXE files on UNIX
I'm trying to find out if a executible file created in visual basic will run in the CGI-BIN of a unix server. I see the C section but no mention of VB.

Thanks

Sean

For the most part, no. If it's a standalone program (doesn't require any libraries / dll's), you MAY have luck with something like WINE, but it takes a significant performance hit, and there's still no guarantee.

You're best bet is to rewrite it in some way more portable, like Perl or C.
