[Torsten Anders]

Dear Oliver,

I just confirmed your problem, although I get a different error  
message (I tried it on the shell).

$ ozengine '/path to/Functor.ozf'
Unknown option 'to/Functor.ozf'.
usage: /path/emulator.exe <options>
-init <file> : init functor
-u <url>     : application functor
-- <args> ...: application arguments


Anyway, you may try compiling your Oz application as executable  
(option -x) and calling the resulting executable directly.

Best
Torsten
