If there is >any interest, I will post the diffs for my rather trivial path mods. Your idea about the system() call sounds quite interesting! I'd be interested in seeing/using it when you are done. Comment: If the shell were to be changed to inherit the environment, please use Manx "set" style environment vars. (sounds like a type of yoghourt, eh?) I think this is what they are going to be using in 1.3 and 1.4 and this would be an easy way of exporting the environment while remaining upwardly compatible. ------ --------- = ------------------------------------------- Edwin (Deepthot) Waterloo co-op student, HCR Corporation Hoogerbeets 2A computer science and psychology uunet!utai!utcsri!hcr!edwin Me Tarzan, Unix. edwin@hcr // Freudian slips?
