Not intended -- I just wanted the server software version, as in

   HTTP/1.0 200 Document follows
   Date: Fri, 08 Jan 1999 23:11:19 GMT
   Server: NCSA/1.4.2
   Content-type: text/html

according to www.link.cs.cmu.edu.  The server should be handling the input,
and I'm surprised NCSA/1.4.2 didn't (even though it is three years old).
Try the same CGI on Apache and it will work fine.

I have to keep on top of these things as part of the standards process.
