 *       CGIGet is a routine we extracted from the NCSA        *
 *       routine post-query.c, by Rob McCool.  We'll go into   *
 *       this routine in greater detail next issue.  For now,  *
 *       simply be aware that it returns a pointer to a string *
 *       containing the value for the variable requested, or   *
 *       NULL if the variable didn't have a value.             *
