First I got a "No such file" error, so I changed to do "strace `which xemacs` " -- still a failure.
which xemacs returns "/usr/local/bin/xemacs.exe.lnk"; that is, my normal handle to launch xemacs is a symlink to the executable whose name or location varies with the version-number.
Given that its purpose is to locate what executable file one will use in a particular environment, should not 'which' resolve the symlink and return its target?
What would happen on *nix?
