I know now why I am still using version 8-15 1. I never tried 8.16 2. since version 8.17 (or 16 which I never tried) lbracket gets linked as the program [
Now, except that I would have a terrible time entering that as a command, as is it a special character for ksh, and I would think bash the additional problem with [ as a commandname, or even as a character in a command name - AIX does not permit files in an installp package are refused when they include certain special characters (: and the square brackets I am sure of, there are probably more). So, while it is a valid filename - I, personally, see it as an extremely non-portable command name. If someone, after installation, would want to create a hardlink to that name - great. But to have a name like that, I must be too old fashioned - where is the win? typing /usr/bin/\[ gets me what? regards, Michael p.s. hints on how to massage Makefile is fine. Not trying to save the world here :)
