A few alternative suggestions: 1) Write your own indirect file handler; 2) I seem to remember splint gets some options from files - hack them; 3) Use the subst command to give you a synonym for your folder; 4) Write a .BAT to populate a directory with the files of interest and do splint *.c there. -- Walter Briscoe
