Oops - I should have pointed out that you needed to have a symlink called ./a which pointed to a non-existant file, and then you check to see if that's been created. Actually, the program should have done it all for you, I'll see what I can do about remedying that if I get some time.. > (p.s. "noddy" means what in 'merkun, please?) Oops - Noddy was the central character in a childrens animation series over here in the UK when I was a kid. It's come to mean simple and easy to understand nowadays. thanks, Chris -- Christopher Samuel Phone: +44 1684 894644 chris@rivers.dra.hmg.gb N-115, Defence Research Agency, St Andrews Road, Great Malvern, England, UK postmaster@rivers.dra.hmg.gb usenet@rivers.dra.hmg.gb
