For example, I'm converting a script to C, and it's simple to check for file existence in a script. I could use exec() to execute the script command itself, or I could call fopen() and see if the file exists. But I'd like a quick-reference to see if a different function would be even better. Besides man pages, where can I look? Please CC me, I'm not subscribed. Thanks. jm -- My other computer is your windows box.
