On the other hand, my VMS-compatible version is definitely different (in at least one direction), so it may be that the best thing for you to do is to get either the stock source kit and/or my VMS-compatible kit, build an executable from one or both of those, and see if anyone else behaves better/differently. Currently, too many things are different to do proper blame assignment. (Could be a wget problem, an OS difference, or who knows what else?) I've demonstrated that my stuff seems to work better than your stuff, but that's only a good start. http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/ http://antinode.org/dec/sw/wget.html > Should I post a bug in bugzilla? It would be more satisfying to be able to say that some version or other behaves well, while the "(Red Hat modified)" version is a loser. In that case, I suppose you could do whatever one does to report problems to Red Hat. (For all I know, there's a newer/better "(Red Hat modified)" version, too, but I'm not a big Linux user.) I assume that the normal wget source kit could be built on your system with no special effort. Mine would need an extra preliminary step, something like "vms/vms_name_fix.sh" before doing the usual stuff. (Wake me if you try mine and have any trouble getting it built.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Steven M.
