At this point it seems obvious that the problem is that Apache is not treating the directory that "ifcgi60.exe" is in as a cgi-enabled directory, even though I added the appropriate alias to the httpd.conf file and restarted the web server. I recall similar problems on Linux in the past where I could not get the program to be run by the server as a cgi program, instead it would be offered as a download to the browser. But the conf file looks right. Anyone ever run into this?
