More detailed information in case it's helpful:

The URL I typed into the browser was:

http://localhost/darticles/articles-debug.exe

According to HttpFox (FF plugin), the headers received were:

HTTP/1.1 302 Object moved
Server: Microsoft-IIS/5.1
Date: Fri, 15 Jul 2011 04:18:56 GMT
X-Powered-By: ASP.NET
Connection: close
Location: localstart.asp
Content-Length: 121
Content-Type: text/html
Cache-Control: private

Note, FWIW, that's a relative path in the "Location". Ie, it's 
"localstart.asp", not "/localstart.asp", so the browser then goes to 
http://localhost/darticles/localstart.asp

If I insetad go to http://localhost/darticles/articles-debug.exe/ then it 
all works right.

Although I guess that probably doesn't help tell you what the CGI app 
received from IIS...

My copy does have requireSelector and requireElementById, but yea, it looks 
like that latest one does have a lot of new stuff.

Sooo...I don't suppose you've given thought to using Hg/BitBucket or 
Git/GitHub? ;)

It'd make a lot of things much easier for both you and others using your 
code.  And it would better facilitate people submitting patches to you. They 
are an extra tool to learn and use, but they're well worth it.
