Unfortunately, many of the platforms lacking a Unix shell also lack execlp (execve, whatever), so such little programs end up not helping as much as we would like them to. (They're just what's needed for old fogeys like me, but that only solves part of the problem.) What are the schedules, exactly? Jim - I thought you said "in the next few weeks", so Paolo, when do you come back from vacation? Maybe there's time for you to enjoy your vacation and complete the fixes before the release? Thanks, Arnold
