  iRev most assuredly supports you and your friends uploading and using
your own custom CGI and PHP scripts.  iRev offers certain pre-built php
and cgi script packages, however you are more than welcome to upload and
run any scripts or packages you like.

  CGI scripts can be run from any directory on your site, as long as your
FTP client can mark the .cgi scripts as "+x" or "0755" executable.  Most
FTP client softwares have this ability built in and is simple to use.

  Finally, if you prefer, iRev can provide a shell account for you on the
server where you can write and edit your CGI and other website files
directly.  If you are familiar with a Unix shell account, you know that
being able to use Vi, Pico, ee, etc to edit your scripts and chmod the
files +x is a tremendous time saver.

  Thanks!
