Someone here pointed-out a 3rd idea: Migrate the |def*()|-functions into the libcmd sources used by ksh93 (only the version in the ON tree) - this will deal with all problems: We can use the dir in the ON tree, we will not loose any binary compatibility, existing applications will work just fine and we won't have to deal with PSARC for this point... :-) Would this be acceptable ? ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) roland.mainz at nrubsig.org \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 7950090 (;O/ \/ \O;)
