Put it at the end so that the UNIX commands wouldn't override MS commands with the same name. Mostly I did this so I can call a bash script from a java program without a lot of OS sniffing. My question is, was this a foolish and stupid thing to do? __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
