Thanks Uff - yes - that should work - but it is going to be very slow - don't want that code on my machine :-) I assume we would then define a makefile variable to hold the command used to test if something is a symbolic link ... normally we would define it to be 'test -L', but on solaris 2.8 we would define it to be something of the kind that you suggest. _______________________________________________ Bug-gnustep mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-gnustep
