True.

Is there any way to "convert" the "folder" format to a
self-contained app (a la Linux) that I can run as:

http://www.domain.com/cgi-bin/CGIApp

I don't think so, because it needs the rbframework.dylib, and in some
cases needs the Resources.rsrc file as well (though I'm a little
vague on exactly what's in there and why it's needed).

But of course, you could put a symbolic link at the above location
which points to the real app inside its folder.

HTH,

Thanks Joe. Unfortunately neither aliases nor symbolic links seem to work. However, since all of the CGIs are probably going to share the same dylib and resource files, I can just put the files into the cgi-bin folder and share them between the various CGI apps. Seems to work OK, and saves disk space as a bonus.
