Indeed: that was the whole point of the conditional: It can be done if and only if (`iff') the file has at least one name. If there were an `flink' system call (analagous to 4.2's fchown and fchmod), one could simply give the file a name, then print it. -- In-Real-Life: Chris Torek, Univ of MD Comp Sci Dept (+1 301 454 7690) Domain: chris@mimsy.umd.edu Path: seismo!mimsy!chris
