To get this to work you have to 

1) Install all files into a subdirectory called "cgi-bin".
2) have a symbolic link in the "cgi-bin" subdirectory which itself is called cgi-bin, linking back to this cgi-bin directory itself.
	$ ln -s . cgi-bin
3) invoke the web server here, in this cgi-bin directory, since awki.cgi expects cgi-bin to be the root path
	$ python -m CGIHTTPServer 8080
4) use web client to access http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/awki.cgi
	(if web server is started from parent directory root path
	is not what awki.cgi wants-- it wants root to be cgi-bin.
	Conversely, some clients (safari) won't run a cgi from the
	URL bar unless it is preceeded by cgi-bin/.)

NEVER MIND:
Created index.html file which automatically invokes awki.cgi. When python is run from the same directory as the index.html, accessing URL
	http://localhost:8080
 from the web client will pull in that index.html file, which then invokes awki.cgi automatically.
