Consequently, when you do an ls, it appears that the files are deleted. In the wee hours of the morning, all files that begin with ., are deleted. This somewhat solves the reversible rm problem. Your assumptions about the C compiler are incorrect. When I tried "cc -o test.c test.c", I got the error message "cc: -o would overwrite test.c". -- Scott Simpson TRW Electronics and Defense Sector ...{decvax,ucbvax,randvax,ucivax}!trwrb!{simpson,ssimpson}
