I want to use mapserver in my cgi-bin at my ISP.  I am having trouble.

I downloaded mapserver-4.0b.tar.gz and unpacked it on my windows PC.  I =
want to use the *NIX binary.  Trying to follow the documentation, I =
FTP'ed mapserv.c and mapserv.h to the cgi-bin on my server (in ASCII =
mode, permissions are 755).

I tried to run it from the browser and the shell, and didn't get "No =
query information to decode...".

I'm guessing I'm trying to run part of the "un-make'd" server, but it is =
not clear where to get the *NIX precompiled binary

Thanks in advance,
-Andrew Koper
