I don't think it is so strange. There are also shell scripts that are automatically executed by /bin/sh. It would be very nice either to type 'sh' in front of every shell script. Since it is impossible to put #!/usr/local/bin/java at the first line of a java "binary" (because it is a binary file) this addition would be quite neat. Especially when Java apps will become more common it is a must I think. -- Peter Mutsaers | Abcoude (Utrecht), | Trust is a good quality plm@xs4all.nl | the Netherlands | for other people to have
