When you type "a.out", Linux checks the various "path" directories (e.g. "/usr/bin") for a file named "a.out". If it can't find it, then it tells you that, well, it can't find it - that the command doesn't exist :o). You can get around this by typing the exact path of the program. Say a.out is located in "/home/sridhar/". You can type "~/a.out" (from anywhere), or change to your home directory and type "./a.out". -- Mark Gallagher http://cyberfuddle.com/infinitebabble/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
