Yes, that's right. My point was that "the Graeme's nix executables" may be named with the name and also the extension he judge will add value to its packaging and distribution system. Just a footnote, I'm pretty sure he is aware of that =) Sometimes the writing language a bit treacherous, anyway I hope no one has tried to rename his /usr folder due to a misunderstanding =) Joao Morais _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
