Well, I checked again, and sure enough, tfm on this machine doesn't have an entry for mklost+found, in (8) or anywhere else. Furthermore, find(1) can find only one thing by that name: /usr/jc/sh/mklost+found, and I wrote that one myself a couple months back when I discovered that there wasn't one in the system. Before you go insulting people's intelligence, maybe you should think that not all of them are running on the same release as you, and they just might not have all the tools in your library. If anyone wants a copy, I'd be glad to send it to them. But it's more fun to write it yourself. If you are a shell wizard, you'll just type it in and not have much fun; if you are less experienced, it is a good learning experience. BTW, I wonder if my script would work on a Berserkeley system? -- John Chambers <{adelie,ima,maynard}!minya!{jc,root}> (617/484-6393)
