This page is part of the NovaTech Web Services CGI Support Pages. You can find resources and links to other CGI sites around the web on this page. These are only suggested links where some of the better CGI scripts can be found. There are probably thousands to hundreds of thousands of pages for CGI scripts online. If you have a link you wish to share, please send it in via e-mail at links@novatech.net or by using the Feedback Form which you can reach by clicking on the link to the left menubar.

Third-party CGI scripts are not guranteed to work. While I have not run across a script that has not worked (there may be a little bit of modifying to do), scripts are not guaranteed to work 100% with NovaTech Web Services servers. Some scripts may require commands that are not native to Windows NT Servers (the servers that NovaTech Web Services uses), and therefore there are bound to be some incompabilities for some scripts. Usually this can involve disabling or re-writing of some parts of the code for the CGI scripts, or it can be that the script cannot function at all. This is just a prewarning. Most scripts are compatible, but there are a select few that are not. Most new script pages have descriptions stating if the script is compatible or incompatible with Windows 95/98/NT servers.

Any Policies and Guidelines that you agreed to when you signed up for NovaTech Web Services still apply.

CGI scripts can be freeware, shareware, demoware, commercialware, etc. While the Internet community still relies on freely distributed information and open source code among other things, some people do work as computer programmers that develop CGI scripts for a living. CGI scripts can be found free for the taking (provided that the original code/copyright remains intact) or better known as freeware. Some have a try before you buy concept known as shareware. Others give you sample tastes of the full blown version. And even others still just describe the commercial version of the script that you can buy through various means.

NovaTech Web Services does not and probably will never buy licenses for scripts that you use. You are responsible for buying legitimiate versions or following the license so that you can use the scripts.
