    Running C program in Linux or Windows

    Hi friends,

    I've just terminated an astronomical application in ansi C for DOS and compile it using GCC. The problem is that the program gives an 500 internal server error, both, in an Linux server and in a Windows 2003 running IIS v6.0 - it's a internet application, by the way, like a cgi: it reads information from one file, computes, and writes the result to another file.

    It works fine in my windows xp (better than I expected). Can it be any plausible cause why this is happening? Can it be that both systems don't have the right emulator for DOS applications?

    Anyone has any ideas?

    Best regards,

    It is most likely permissions related.
    While you're breakin' down my back n'
    I been rackin' out my brain
    It don't matter how we make it
    'Cause it always ends the same
    You can push it for more mileage
    But your flaps r' wearin' thin
    And I could sleep on it 'til mornin'
    But this nightmare never ends
    Don't forget to call my lawyers
    With ridiculous demands
    An you can take the pity so far
    But it's more than I can stand
    'Cause this couchtrip's gettin' older
    Tell me how long has it been
    'Cause 5 years is forever
    An you haven't grown up yet

    You're trying to run a DOS application in Linux? Good luck.
    The information given in this message is known to work on FreeBSD 4.8 STABLE.

    I think he just means it is a command line program.

    The Linux server has support for C/C++ language.
