Use a RAM resident program such as CED to do alias expansion. If a directory has only a couple of executable programs in it, (such as source files plus an executable, or executable plus data files), define aliases to these executables, and don't put the directories in the path at all. You might be surprised to find how many directories fall into this category. ----- This is a shared guest account, please send replies to dbriggs@nrao.edu (Internet) Dan Briggs / NRAO / P.O.
