Still at it building a home made solution, huh? <g>

printf() doesn't handle CHR(0)'s as it sees it as a string terminator. You can use File output functions to write to StdOut as well such as WriteFile() API calls to which you can pass output, or fWrite() (you have to get the handle to StdOut for that first).

You can write to StdOut from VFP using Windows API calls with CreateFile, WriteFile() and CloseHandle() ( I think ), but htis is a really bad idea as VFP is way too large to load up from scratch on every CGI hit.
