Kamat") Newsgroups: gnu.emacs.bug Subject: problem with call-process Message-ID: <8909230318.AA16158@uceng.UC.EDU> Date: 23 Sep 89 03:18:55 GMT Distribution: gnu Organization: GNUs Not Usenet Lines: 14 The function "call-process" does not seem to locate programs in exec-path correctly. If my PATH variable is PATH=~/bin:/bin:/usr/bin and I happen to have a data file "ls", without execute permission, in ~/bin, then call-process will attempt to execute it, rather than /bin/ls. I'm not sure that this is the desired behavior, since the shell does it right. This is with version 18.55. -- Kamat
