Message-ID: <27734@clyde.ATT.COM> Date: 7 Jun 88 19:47:18 GMT Organization: AT&T Bell Labs, Whippany NJ Lines: 12 The corrected mv command with picnix3 still has a small problem: If you should happen to request a move of a file to a non-existent directory, it "moves" it and deletes it from the source directory---all silently. I did this accidentally, misspelling the name of an existent directory. The file disappeared. BTW, the MKS mv command does the same trick. Forrest Gehrke
