Well it does have a lot options and it was about finding executables in the first place. I agree tho, "find" is one of the best...... but IF I can get the wife to use the console/xterm at all then "locate" is about the max I can go when offering help at finding files. That is when I'm not at home and have to troubleshoot vocaly through a telephone-line. proposing "find" and "xargs" with | would be certain divorce, either from the wife or the pinguin. ;-) -- Good luck, HarM ____________________________________________________ Want to buy your Pack or Services from Mandriva?
