Assuming ft is the name of the Flaming Thunder compiler, and it is runnable directly from the command line, do this: % ft FILE h1.ft OUTPUT h1-ft.cgi then you might also have to do this: % chmod u+x h1-ft.cgi which results in: -rwx------ 1 rem user 24576 Mar 17 2008 h1-ft.cgi ^ Note user execute permission needed for all CGI programs. (because compiled-ft is native machine code run directly on machine)
