I think `system' resolves symlinks. > What surprises me is that everyone here seems to expect gunzip to work, excepting me. From my seat it seems to be a perfectly qood link. Its only fault is that the file it points to, `gzip,' doesn't exist. If I write a simple text file called by that name and then give the command: > less gunzip the text of gzip is displayed. So it is working as it should. To answer your request, I probably could, but it would take too long. Jerry Pournelle made a good wage from Byte Magazine for many years claiming to be a user, not a programmer. So let me claim the same privilege. If you have a test program in mind please send it to me and I will gladly run it.
