Getting a cgi stack call to work

[Mark Smith]

The cgi engines are quite old, (pre 2.7), so stacks in 2.7 format  
can't be read by the cgi engines. If you open your stack "test.rev"  
and type this in the message box:

set the stackfileVersion to 2.4 ; save stack "Test"

then the stack will be saved in 'legacy' format, and the cgi engine  
should be able to cope with it.

Best,

Mark
