I seem to have little if any controm over which directory epoch takes the file to edit from. E.g. when I'm in my home directory and type epoch test, I start by editing a file test in some other directory (for which I don't necessarily hav e write permission). is there some hidden configuration file or something that controls this? >I've been using your epoch-rios.tar file. >Sincerely, H.J. Schulz Some time ago, I got the epoch-rios release for the 6000 under aix, and found several bugs in it. I made many fixes to this release, and have been running Epoch successfully on my 6000 for about nine months. I am more than willing to make my changes available (as diffs from Epoch 3.2 patchlevel 2), but unfortunately we don't support anonymous ftp here. Ideally, I would like the Epoch maintainers to incorporate the changes and make them available that way, but in the meantime I will be happy to mail them to anyone interested. - Jim Russell IBM Watson Research Ctr jrussell@watson.ibm.com
