In the case of Perl, it is not necessary. The disadvantage of the "#!" line is that it contains a hard-coded path. On my HP-UX machine, Perl is not in /usr/bin. In fvwm24_convert, the lines right after the first line invoke Perl without a hard-coded path. -- Dan Espen 444 Hoes Lane Room RRC 1C-214 E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Piscataway, NJ 08854 Phone: (732) 699-5570 -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL:http://www.fvwm.org/>.
