ClipXOpen()
Required first call in each CGI program
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Syntax:

  ClipXOpen( [<lDebug>] ) --->  lSuccess

Arguments:

  [<lDebug>] is an optional logical value.

Returns: A logical value

Description:

  REQUIRED FIRST X-Hacker.orgfunction call which:

  Reads and parses form-variables and the server environmental variables.

  Makes the FORM and SERVER variables available for other X-Hacker.orgfunctions.

  ALWAYS TEST THE RETURN VALUE.
  Failure to check the return value of "TRUE", may cause other ClipX
  functions to fail.

  [<lDebug>] is an optional logical value. X-Hacker.orgprograms can be tested
  from the DOS prompt when this value is set to TRUE.

    Input can be streamed from a file and output can be streamed to a file.
     Example:  MyCliX.exe   < QryFIle.txt   > Out.htm
      . MyClix.exe must have been compiled with ClipXOpen( .t. ).
      . QryFile.txt must contain a proper query string.
        Example:  hiddenField=Im Hidding&startMonth=01&startDay=01
      . Out.htm is any file name. This file will contain the HTML page
        that would have been sent to the web server. You can view it with
        a text editor or from your browser. In order to make a more readable
        file, use Cr() (carriage Return/line feed) after each HTML line
        written.
        Example:   htmlBeg() ; Cr()
                   headBeg() : Cr()
                   ...
                   htmlWrite( 'something' ) ;Cr()
                   htmlWrite( 'something else' + Chr(13)+Chr(10) )
                   cxOut( 'something else again' )
                   ...
                   BodyEnd() : Cr()
                   htmlEnd() : Cr()
