Thank you very much, Rick.
I tried your code snippet and it worked great in initializing GCG
environment when run FROM THE SHELL.
However, it still does not run ON THE WEB. It does not produce an output
file.
Could you please take a look at my CGI script and let me know what is going
on? (Of course, I chmod'ed the output directory writable to ugo, so writing
privilege issue cannot be the reason).
Thanks!

$execstr = "/usr/users/gcg/gcgbin/execute/tofasta

$tmpname = "tmpdir.gcgtmp";
open (GCGFILE,">$tmpname");
print $GCGFILE "#!/bin/tcsh\n";
print $GCGFILE "source /usr/gcg/gcgstartup\n";
print $GCGFILE "gcg\n";
print $GCGFILE "$execstr\n";
close $GCGFILE;
chmod 0770, $tmpname;
system($tmpname);
