RE: Combining numeric values

cgiInit should never return < 0, however if it returns 0, then there are two
possibilities; (1) No data is being returned from the web page, or (2) You
specified a Multi-part form, for example, you have an <INPUT Type="FILE"> in
the form, which is not supported in the current release.

Are there any messages in the joblog after it returns -1? Is XTOOLS on
the library list, etc.??
