Hi netters:

Could anyone lights me up with this simple problem.
While i was VIing a file, named foo.c, i tried to do:
	:!cc % 
i got the following error:
	"ld crt0.o fatal: Can't open file foo.c for input"
but if i did:
	:!cc foo.c
then everything was fine.  It seems to me that the shell substituted '%' for
the current file name correctly, but the search path was somewhere else!!!

I only got such problem on AT&T machine SYSV 2.1.2.

Thanx for your helps in advance.
