Is there a library that would do the same job? (Would it be sensible to use it if there was? I guess it would be OK if the library was built from the 'find' source.) Is there a problem with invoking find? busybox provides find if you don't want to install findutils (as in Emdebian). It would be a very strange GNU/Linux box that did away with some kind of find functionality. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
