Summary: yes -- /bin/test should be there Message-ID: <352@hawkmoon.MN.ORG> Date: 18 Sep 88 21:47:50 GMT References: <450@gt-ford.gtisqr.UUCP> <864@yabbie.rmit.oz> Organization: One of the Eternal Champions - Richfield, MN, 554232523, USA Lines: 19 Hey! This is great! No flames or any other assorted nasty verbage.... Thanks for the info. Yes -- i was stupid and didn't realize that /bin/test was the culprit (and [, for that matter). So what i did was simply create the file that almost everyone suggested should be: $ cat /bin/test test $@ and things are spiffy again. Summary: compressdir is not buggy, my lack of /bin/test was the bug. derek -- Derek Terveer det@hawkmoon.MN.ORG w(612)681-6986 h(612)688-0667 "A proper king is crowned" -- Thomas B. Costain
