Looks like new ar(1) adds trailing '/' to each object's name... I haven't looked at what you're trying to do. But as long as you use the right tools, the trailing '/' should not be visible. The ELF archives are in a slightly different format than the a.out ones. If you create an archive using "ar -aout" then you should use "ar -aout" when you list its contents too. Likewise for ELF. If you see the trailing '/' it almost certainly means that you created an ELF archive but are listing it with the a.out archiver. Note, there are much bigger problems with mixing the formats if your archive contains any members whose names are >14 characters. John -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
