Re: Problem with sources in multiple directories

Even more interesting. I tried the same experiment at work on an NT
machine and a Linux box. I had the same problem on the NT machine.
The Linux box did not have the problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, even if it is directing me to
the appropriate mail archive.
