Carlos, >From looking at Mark's post, I have a few questions:
1) is the file you're trying to run marked with the eXecutable bit in the directory. Be sure that when you check, you check the proper one (ie, the "owner" and the "group" and the "other" section of the attributes). 2) If it is executable, can you BROWSE it in ISHELL? If so, does it look like readable text or "a bunch of binary junk". 3) if it is text, does the first line start with something like: #!/bin/sh The important part is the "#!" which is a "magic" which tell UNIX to run the rest of the line as a UNIX command. Also, make sure that what is after the "#!" is valid as a UNIX executable program (not another shell script). 4) if it is "binary junk", does the first line when you browse it start with: IEWPLMH That is what tells UNIX that this is a binary (compiled) program. -- John ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
