Almost correct. This happened to me. I had . in my path, and as you can see there's a strip in the current directory, so that's the one it executed. It doesn't understand a.out. I took out the . and all ran fine. I didn't mention this, because I know the number of people who would come and say "don't put . in your PATH", but I'm apparently not the only one :-) Greg -- See complete headers for address and phone numbers finger grog@lemis.com for PGP public key To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
