If I recall, there was a patch to TEST in patch 38-40, but the hunk failed. So, I had to apply it by hand. It added support for new test scripts. Anyway, after applying the patch by hand, TEST would not run. The problem was the symbols ARGV and ARGX. They are both supposed to be the ARGV. If you have both ARGV and ARGX in your TEST, your problem is solved. Just replace the string 'ARGX' with 'ARGV' and TEST should run fine. Somehow my TEST must have had only ARGX in it, which explains why the patch must have failed. I must have missed an earlier failed patch to TEST somewhere along the way. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kevin Gallagher kgallagh@digi.lonestar.org OR ...!uunet!digi!kgallagh DSC Communications OR apcihq!apcidfw!digi!kgallagh ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
