Oh well, good news is good news. Nope, these are the three I got on 5/28, too.

I'm not sure how best to handle this one. > The current behavior of stuffing a '-' at the front has got to go, but what can replace it? I see the problem - that VMS may have multiple logical devices which may be the same "drive" or not - but there must be a better way to deal with abs2rel() than providing a bad path. Perhaps the only reasonable answer to give is if the CWD is not on the same "drive" as the path in question, then abs2rel() should return an absolute path, not a relative one. JohnThread Previous
