protected file access by CGI script

[Jim Ault]

Step 1 for me would be to check the file format = legacy, since the cgi
engine is not recent

Step 2  Try using a simple text files (actually a group of text files)
having different protection settings (read access)

This should give you the clues you need to go forward.
