I created a carbon app under Mac OS X using CodeWarrior Pro 7.1. I cannot seem to run the app from the OS X Terminal commandline. When I type ./myprog it spews out a lot of junk characters. Almost like it is trying to run it as a shell script. What am I doing wrong?

navigate to the appropriate folder and type 'open myprog'.

have fun,

Just to explain:
Your app was probably a CFM binary, and CFM binaries need a to be launched using a wrapper application because the native binary format on OS X is Mach-O. The wrapper application is called LaunchCFMApp, and is located here:
/System/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework/Versions/A/Support/LaunchCFMApp

You can either do /System/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework/Versions/A/Support/LaunchCFMApp
./myprog
or
open myproj
because open uses LaunchServices or similar and can tell that it's a CFM binary so it can take the correct steps to launching it.
