But did the compiler write something else? A warning maybe (maybe you 
need to pass "-vw" to see it)? What if you place the "-oindex.cgi" 
before the "test.pas"? What if you put the "-oindex.cgi" into quotes?

I tested it. It DOES work. On Windows as well as Linux.

No. You can only change the extension from within code by using 
{$EXTENSION 'cgi'}.
