Except on platforms that don't *have* execlp... I really think that moving to shell scripts is just making more work for yourselves: - Users without a shell are going to be suprised / upset and are going to complain. - You wil have to spend time dealing with these bug reports and emails. - You're planning to eventually do something for a C program anyway to undo the shell scripts. Why not revert the change, or use the new code from Norihiro, and avoid the headaches all around? Then do another clean-up release after that. The urgency to release RIGHT NOW seems to be self-induced, at least to me, looking in from the outside. 'nuff said. Arnold
