Dear all,

I'm trying SIR & CGI with the local web server Apache. I run into error 443 (CANNOT OPEN PROC FILE), issued by the SIRDBMS.DLL. Does anyone have a clue what I should do?

Best regards,

SUG Committee

SIR User Group goes International!

Jon Johnson — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 19:32:03 +0000

The first meeting of the new SIR User Group Committee met online on Friday 5th March, half from the UK and half from the USA. The new officers are John Lemon (Chair), Adrian Hodgson (Secretary) and Jon Johnson (Treasurer).

It was agreed to set this website up and use it as our main presence on the web. The material currently on the SIR Oz site will be moved to here in due course. We encourage you to register and participate through questions, answers and contributing PQL examples you have found useful.

We hope to have more contact with SIR, possibly through teleconferences and we will be holding another SIRvey of users to gauge interest in future events and needs.

Finally, the new Committee would like to give a resounding and heartfelt thanks to Dave Doulton and Fran Williams for the enormous amount of work they have contributed to the SIR Users UK Group.
