using tools

Hi, visitor from !

We have installed a collection of useful routines for general consumption. They have been placed in a version controlled directory, with src, include, lib and bin subdirectories.

The routines are grouped into three libraries:

• forms
  This collection of routines is useful for processing HTML forms and running cgi-bin programs. It contains functions to grab values from forms and process them neatly.
• sql
  This collection of routines is useful for interacting with the SQL database (postgres).
• login
  This collection of routines is useful for implementing the login series of HTML forms that allows a Netscape user to log into one of our postgres databases.

The source code is version controlled using RCS.

Take a peek the source files here.

Here is an example program showing the login procedure.

Here is an example makefile showing how to build a program using these libraries.
