So what if the code for chroot(), chdir(), and chdirec() is the same ? The code for nami() (the underlying code for ALL file naming) is NOT character for character the same: ERGO, 4.1 DOESN'T do exactly the same. (What happened to experimentation: why not TRY it before you say it next time ?) (As far as I am aware, NO post-V7 UN*X has got that mis-feature about `..'.) Yours empirically Dave Lukes (...!vax135!ukc!root44!pdl) P.S. Would it be possible for people to stop arguing about this now ? It's all been said several times over now.
