When I execute the command line : find . -name t.c -print I get the response : find cannot execute 'pwd' 'Pwd' exists and is available on typing 'pwd' on its own. Any ideas why I am having problems ????????????? Martin Dew, McDonnell Douglas CSC *****************************************************************

May depend on your shell. A long time ago, I noticed that csh does it's own pwd. If /bin/pwd exists, try executing it as "/bin/pwd" and see if you get results. If not, then it may be that the directory you are in has permissions that keeps pwd from finding out where you are. Another thing to examine: Are you on an NFS mount? If so, you may find that some programs know what to do to get pwd while others fail. Programs that use libPW curdir() function may have some difficulty if that function wasn't updated to understand NFS or other remote mounting systems. If all of the above doesn't help, then provide more information, please. Mark Runyan
