You can get absolute paths by using "`pwd`" instead of ".". $ pwd /home/prj $ dirname "`pwd`" /home Too bad coreutils' pwd doesn't support SUSv3's -L and -P options, but you may not need those anyway. Or if you do, you shell's builtin pwd may support them. > And BTW: If I make an enhancement for this proggy, do I need to file > another copyright asignment via snail mail like it's necessary for > gcj? It depends on the total size of all the changes you've provided for coreutils. paul _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
