#!/bin/sh -u
# This CGI script displays the date and one passed argument.
# ------------------------------------------------------------------
# Syntax:  $0 any_string 
# ------------------------------------------------------------------
# Purpose: Demonstrate single argument passing in a CGI script.
#   Put this in your public_html/cgi-bin directory and then call up:
#     http://net2003.idallen.ca:8888/~abcd0001/cgi-bin/date.cgi
#     http://net2003.idallen.ca:8888/~abcd0001/cgi-bin/date.cgi?hello there
# Since we use "-u" above, the script will generate an error if the required
# argument $1 is not present.  We redirect standard error to standard
# output so that the error messages go to the browser, not to the system log.
