From: "John M. Sellens" <jmsellens> I got sick and tired of seachpath and showpath, both supposedly legal and reasonable ways to set your path, providing different sets of commands. I think the only problem that might arise might be problems with tapeprune and tapereport. If you notice anything weird, let me know and I will fix things as necessary.

It seems silly to have a version of searchpath that gives different rules depending upon whether or not that directory exists.
