                               TO TEST THE SERVER
================================================================================
   1. Start the Web server
   2. Run FWCONFIG.EXE to configure FoxWeb
   3. Run FWSTART.EXE to start the FoxWeb server channels
   4. From your web browser call http://ServerName/cgi-shl/foxweb.exe/show_cgi?
