Well, the only difference that stuck out to me were the include files for
NSAPI.
nscgi  calls for several, but in 3.x all the header files have been
combined into
one, "nsapi.h". I modified nscgi.c to call for this one header file and it
compiled
cleanly. It does its job very well, and am not all that certain that the
problem I
am having is related to nscgi at all.

Well, I am a contractor and really don't have that option. I have tried to
sell the idea of using Apache here, but they have already bought massively
into Netscape. If I cannot get Zope to work, I may end up recommending a
commercial package, at least for this case.
