The file "rev" is the executable, which you should put in your 
cgi-executables folder. You can rename it "revolution" if you want it to 
match the online tutorial.

The "echo.mt" text file is a pre-made cgi that allows you to test 
whether your installation is working. Put that in the folder too. Then 
try to access it from a browser:

http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/echo.mt

If all is well, the echo.mt cgi will return a list of environment 
variables. There is nothing special about them; it is just some text to 
send back so you know your setup is okay.
