ART100@PSUVM.BITNET (Andy Tefft) (03/27/89)
Ever since I started using Unix a couple of months ago, I've wanted a 'smart' cd. For example, let's say I have the following directory: /usr/a1t/src/X11/xgif/ and I want to cd to it, but instead accidentally type cd /usr/a1t/src/X11/xgfi What I would like, instead of the normal 'not found' is something that would change me to X11 - and tell me so - so I don't have to type the whole thing again. I know I can solve this by changing one directory at a time, and using command history to redo it, but still.... Anyone seen a program to do this? Or is there some standard way? (if so, please feel free to move the discussion elsewhere, but PLEASE reply by email so I know).
