Then you have to write at least three programs. A server, a gui-client and
a cgi-client. The cgi-client is started by a webserver upon requests
of a webbrowser.

Simple ? And three instead of one application ?

I do not know what ideas you have for a program to be 'web-enabled'.
But if your server and the gui-client communicate using sockets
and your own protocol, then the sever could be web-enabled already. Just
write a cgi-client that uses the same protocol.

So you did not write "web-enabled" applications.
Did you write web-applications ?
Did you write cgi programs ?
Do you know html and how to generate it ?
Can you manage communication using sockets ? For instance
using TServerSocket and TCientSocket ?

On which point do you need help ?

Hans.
