Hi
My error! Error in path:
set path =
(/sbin /bin /usr/sbin /usr/games /usr/local/sbin /usr/local/bin /usr/bin /usr/X11R6/bin
$HOME/bin)
I've been with -CURRENT for years at home and have had no real problems.
Unix has always been a part of me since I took Ken Thompson's OS class
at Berkeley in 1976.
Thank's for the reply.
Damon
