RE: Challenge for IBM. QzhbCGIParse API.

["Stone, Brad V (TC)" <bvstone@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I know I had trouble doing both in one shot (Standard Input and Query
String).  I haven't tried THAT much, but I'd assume if you do both you'd
need to read QS first, then standard input (ie don't -init until you've read
QS).

I used to use RdStin and GetEnv APIs and it worked ok reading both with
these APIs.
