Hi. On 5.3 I can execute the following line in zsh: odin~%>find . -type d \! -name autoedit -depth 1 ./172 On a 5.2 I get: cyclop~%>find . -type d \! -name autoedit -depth 1 find: 1: unknown option According to 'man 1 find' (examples) I should be able to use \! -name on 5.2. Zsh 4.2.0 on both machines. Claus
