It uses Perl directly to compute the numeric mode of a file. The version in -CURRENT uses a combination of stat(1), bc(1) and shell arithmetic which causes a syntax error in 4.x. Personally, I think it would be best if stat(1) could gain an option (-m perhaps) that makes it simply print its arguments' modes in octal. DES --=20 Dag-Erling Sm=F8rgrav - des@des.no
