Thanks for your extended examples of CGI programs using Tiny 
Cobol.  That document provides part of the solution. I don't 
understand Portugese but I do understand Cobol and HTML!

Now the next question is, what files must I transport to my 
remote web site on doteasy.com to allow the Cobol program to 
run? I have access on that site to only a limited subset of the 
facilities of Linux. But I can transport html files and cgi type files.
I am reasonably certain that the site does not have a Cobol 
compiler installed. I am also reasonably certain that I can not 
install a compiler on it. But I can put files in the following 
directories:
/home
/tmp
/var/www
/var/www/cgi-bin
/var/www/html
/var/www/perl

I can also create subdirectories to these.  Thus far I have been 
successful with perl and Tcl as cgi-bin programs. 

The key question is: what files do I need to sent to this site 
beyond my compiled Cobol program. e.g. foo.exe? Is it possible to 
compile a static .exe file?
