I think find was targeted for use with cpio originally. They both had the same author. They deal with arguments and options a bit different then the other standard unix tools. I'm almost surprised someone hasn't come up with a find replacement that "feels" more like the other unix tools. Tar certainly replaced cpio. Then again, find works well as it is and I'm not sure you could replace its syntax as easily. -- ------- Tom Buskey _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
