Date: 11 May 1994 06:40:12 GMT Organization: University of California, Berkeley Lines: 11 Message-ID: <2qpukc$ele@agate.berkeley.edu> References: <2qpqm9$58m@news.tamu.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: monoceros.eecs.berkeley.edu csh and tcsh (and maybe bash too) do some tricks to speed up execution of files in your path. I belive they keep the locations of the programs in your path in a hash table, and use that to find the program, rather than searching the disk. Its faster, but then new programs that you install aren't found until you run the internal shell command "rehash". Try that. It should fix it. -- alan pearson alanp@cory.eecs.berkeley.edu UC Berkeley EECS
