Don't know if this is really the place for this, but I searched Script Meridian and read the Using Inetd docs here and couldn't find a definitive answer.

My problem: I need a person to enter information into a Frontier table, so I've built a browser-based front end to make it easy. I'm using inetd/cgi to capture the info. One element of this is some html that references existing gif files. I'd like to display the html/gifs in a new window but I can't figure out where to put the gifs in the file system that would correspond to the inetd root. (There are a lot of gifs and I don't want to import them into Frontier if I don't have to.)

Long story short: html exists in Frontier table. It references a folder full of gifs in the file system. I can display the html, but the gifs are broken because I don't know how/where to reference them.

The Using Inetd page infers that inetd only serves stuff up through the Frontier database. Does this mean the images MUST be imported into Frontier? Or am I reading this incorrectly? Hope this makes sense. Apologies if this is the wrong venue for this question. TIA

Using 5.0.2b20 Mac.
