Sorry I forgot to get it into 1.5. 2) Gnu fileutils has mkfifo. This is what I use. 3) 1.6.15 has mkfifo. Posix specifies mkfifo but not mknod. >With respect to symbolic links (the package on plains), what would be the >best way to patch so that any updates that you produce can still be applied >with the minimal amount of fuss ? There is no good way. I think the version on plains is quite out of date. A later version was posted to the 1.6.15 mailing list by Earl Chew. I took it out of my version once to test and debug 1.6. This was too much work. Bruce -- Bruce Evans evans@syd.dit.csiro.au
