My hero! :-) That did it.

Both work:

file = fopen("/tmp/file.txt","w");
file = fopen("./file.txt","w");

Also, and contrary to what I've read in some online pages, we don't
have to put AGI scripts in /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin:

exten => 9999,n,AGI(/tmp/check_cid.exe|123)

BTW, as I'm used to Delphi, I'm also interested in checking out FP. Is
it easy to install on eg. CentOS? Can I come up with a totally
self-dependent EXE that I can just drop into a limited host running
AstLinux?

If someone has an idea why it's required to use a full path for the
file to be written, I'm interested.

Thanks again.
