Date: Mon, 15 Apr 1996 13:12:45 +0000 Organization: Rockwell Automation Ltd., Prague Lines: 11 Message-ID: <31724B4D.41C67EA6@merlin.rockwell.cz> NNTP-Posting-Host: merlin.research.rockwell.cz Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 2.01 (X11; I; BSD/386 uname failed) Just simple question for someone informed: what's the purpose of the /stand directory. Well, I can find the brief explanation in hier (standalone execution), but what is the standalone execustion in this case ? Does it mean single user mode ? Moreover, looking at the size of the /stand files, I found them really big comparing to files in /bin. Can anyone explain this to me ??? Thanks Petr
