It can, and that would fix certain things, like the OS/390 and AIX example of needing to tune the memory use to allow lots of threads. (Though I wonder how it would find the right copy of envvars in a binbuild situation.) Unfortunately, it wouldn't fix the inability of a binbuild httpd from finding its libraries. A wrapper script seems to cover both types of problems. -- Jeff Trawick | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Born in Roswell... married an alien...
