The association is looser on UNIX type systems, because the extension is not so important (binaries generally don't have one). The file /etc/magic uses the first part of the file to identify what the contents really are. The file /etc/mime.types uses extensions to work out internet file types. T

It's not unusual to be allowed to install software, as long as it doesn't require root access or conflict with anything existing. I've been using rexx on the freeshell servers, which is fine with non-root access, and I just work without using features that require root access. Maybe a compromise

Hi, I'm working on building oorexx 4 (latest svn) on NetBSD (intel & alpha) and Solaris (sparc). If nobody else is working on these platforms, I'll rework my quick hacks, so they can be merged cleanly. Just from interest, has anyone had problems with the optimiser? I've had to stick to O0 for S
