Hello, I have experienced the following some-what curious interpretation of a file-name: Assume <name> is a _plain_ file Then ls <name>/. results in '<name>/.' !!! That is : what ought (?) to be a directory (<name>/.), and by the way non-existing as such, is accepted whereas <name>/.. is not accepted. Any ideas what happens ? Does anybody know if there is an assembler that faithfully handles case in (external-) labels. In version 1.0 rev 9.09 all labels, even externals are converted to lower-case. This is problematic as the C-compiler does respect case.

Interesting. Under SR9.7 Domain/IX, I get % ls foo/. foo/. % ls foo/.. [ ls of the directory that foo is in ] Doesn't happen under ultrix or SunOS Mike Khaw -- internet: mkhaw@teknowledge.arpa uucp: {uunet|sun|ucbvax|decwrl|ames|hplabs}!mkhaw%teknowledge.arpa hardcopy: Teknowledge Inc, 1850 Embarcadero Rd, POB 10119, Palo Alto, CA 94303

- Assume <name> is a _plain_ file
- Then ls <name>/. results in
- '<name>/.' !!!
- That is : what ought (?) to be a directory (<name>/.), and
- by the way non-existing as such, is accepted whereas
- <name>/.. is not accepted.
Maybe it's for compatibility with Aegis. /com/ld works for both foo/.
and foo/.. where foo is an ordinary file.
