I use CGI-BIN very extensively (i write complete applications in cgi), but 
until now never had any need for uploading files. The application runs in a 
LAN environment, so there is no real need for uploading files.
On location, i mail the files that need to be "uploaded" to a special 
e-mail account, and my mailserver decodes the attachments and put the file 
in the requested directory. Users use this feature to print documents on 
the corporate printer while on location.

Instead of Visual Basic, i use Power basic, the syntax is nearly the same.
My first applications were in Visual Basic, but i switched because VB is 
too "bloated" for a simple console application. Increased development speed 
and reduced maintenance. Can't use the fancy debugger when running cgi-bin.

I'll try creating an upload application next sunday. Maybe i will encounter 
any abnormalities.
